Imports not picking absolute path other than immediate sub folder to baseUrl path (src)

[krajasekhar]

To have imports from absolute path, I am configuring baseUrl and paths in jsconfig.json and facing below issues.
My app folder structure:

> src
  > assets
  > app
     > components
     > views

When I configure jsconfig.json like this
1.

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "module": "commonjs",
    "paths": {
      "src/*": ["src/*"],
      "assets/*": ["src/assets/*"],
      "components/*": ["src/app/components/*"],
      "views/*": ["src/app/views/*"]
    }
  },
  "include": ["src"]
}

it is failing at import {someThing} from 'assets/someFile' with error Module not found: Can't resolve 'assets/someFile'. No error for components/views folders imports.
2.

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": "src",
    "module": "commonjs",
    "paths": {
      "components/*": ["src/app/components/*"],
      "views/*": ["src/app/views/*"]
    }
  },
  "include": ["src"]
}

it is failing at import {someThing} from 'views/someFile' with error Module not found: Can't resolve 'views/someFile'. No error for assets folders imports.
but vs code is navigating to the source file when I do 'Ctrl + click' on the path with any of above config.
