How can we verify it:

Tasks:

• Write documentation — I'm not sure it needs to be documented.
• Fix linting errors

• Provide verification config / commands / resources

@hassankhan It would be awesome if this PR could be merged and a new version released. Thanks!

Hi @tobiasdiez, apologies I've only just had my commit privileges restored and realised that Travis CI doesn't work any more; going to need to switch over to GitHub Actions before the Ci can release a new version. I've created a new issue for that: #185

@hassankhan @hasparus Is there any chance this could be merged and new version released? Seems like it's been a while and it's currently blocking our workflow.

Cześć @MichalPodeszwa, this isn't a question for me, but I can offer you a workaround:

I'm using the following patch with patch-package in Theme UI, as one of its dependencies uses cosmiconfig.

theme-ui/patches/@endemolshinegroup+cosmiconfig-typescript-loader+3.0.2.patch

Due to this PR not being merged and a few other reasons, in my recent work I've decided not to use cosmiconfig and go with tsNode.register(); require(configPath) instead. (eth-sdk/pull/33/commits/7fbcf5d#diff-95b597R14-R16)

Edit: Actually, I didn't try it yet, but you might be able to work around this problem by setting process.env.TS_NODE_COMPILER_OPTIONS.

Having issues that this PR would resolve too, created this to try get things moving again
