Using typescript baseurl and paths breaks React-Router

Question

I am trying to set baseUrls and paths in the tsconfig, however whenever I change the baseURL I recieve the following error

 ./node_modules/react-router/es/StaticRouter.js 120:40-54 'history' does not contain an export named 'createLocation'. 

I have tried setting the node_path in env config and moving the path and baseurl to a seperate typescript file as was suggested in a github thread, however this did not work.

So here is what I have as of now in the Tsconfig

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": "src",
    "outDir": "build/dist",
    "module": "esnext",
    "target": "es5",
    "lib": ["es6", "dom"],
    "sourceMap": true,
    "allowJs": true,
    "jsx": "react",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "rootDir": "src",
    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
    "noImplicitReturns": true,
    "noImplicitThis": true,
    "noImplicitAny": true,
    "strictNullChecks": true,
    "suppressImplicitAnyIndexErrors": true,
    "noUnusedLocals": true,
    "paths": {
      "sagas/*": ["sagas/*"],
      "src/*": ["./*"],
      "*": [ "node_modules/@types/*", "*"]
    }
  },
  "include": [
    "src/**/*"
  ],
  "exclude": [
    "node_modules",
    "build",
    "lib",
    "tests",
    "scripts",
    "acceptance-tests",
    "webpack",
    "jest",
    "__mocks__",
    "__test__",
    "src/setupTests.ts"
  ]
}

Please note changing baseUrl back to '.' fixes the issue but the custom paths will no longer work

Typescript version is 3.3.1

Alright a bit of a dolt here.

Had a History.ts file in the "src" directory. So changing the baseUrl to src was resulting in that location being checked first even in the third party libraries. So needless to say that history object did not contain those definitions

Some folder/file reorganization fixed the issue
