The loader doesn't find type definitions

[Tragetaschen]

I'm running 2.2.4 and awesome-typescript-loader shows errors that types declared in tsconfig.json could not be found.

I'm running into the same issue when using lib: ['es6', 'dom'] where I get

'node_modules/typescript/lib/lib.es2015.generator.d.ts' not found

Same here but with Angular2.
After some tests, in my case it seems to work when I don't use "?tsconfig" parameter of awesome-typescript-loader.

Confirmed on 2.2.4, attempting to use ?tsconfig parameter causes Cannot find type definition file for '<type>', this is really unfortunate because I need multiple tsconfig files.

Without changing anything else, replacing awesome-typescript-loader?tsconfig=<fileName> with ts-loader?configFileName=<fileName> (using ts-loader@0.9.4) fully resolves this problem and otherwise functions properly. It may not be as awesome but it does support named/multiple tsconfig files. Could we get a bug label on this please?

As I found out recently in #252, try using awesome-typescript-loader?configFileName=<fileName> ?

[Tragetaschen]

#252 (comment) mentions a workaround for this issue, which is declaring typeRoots in the tsconfig.json. This works in my project.
