--path (or -p) flag is ignored in Next.js/TypeScript projects

[MokatilDev]

The @tiptap/cli add command ignores the explicit path provided via the-p or --path flag and defaults to creating a /src/components/ directory instead of the requested subdirectory.

Environment:

    Framework: Next.js 15 && React 19
    Language: TypeScript 
    Package Manager: Bun 
    CLI Version: @tiptap/cli@latest (v3.x)

> project info
{
  framework: {
    name: 'next-app',
    label: 'Next.js',
    links: {
      installation: 'https://tiptap.dev/docs/ui-components/install/next'
    }
  },
  isSrcDir: true,
  isRSC: true,
  isTsx: true,
  aliasPrefix: '@'
}

> config

  rsc: true,
  tsx: true,
  aliases: {
    components: '@/components',

@Aslam97 do you think we should turn this into an issue for the CLI project? Maybe you can help out here.

[MokatilDev]

Solved! I manually mapped them in components.json. Adding these aliases forces everything into src/components/tiptap/

  "aliases": {
    "tiptapIcons": "@/components/tiptap/icons",
    "tiptapExtensions": "@/components/tiptap/extensions",
    "tiptapNodes": "@/components/tiptap/nodes",
    "tiptapUi": "@/components/tiptap/ui",
    "tiptapUiPrimitives": "@/components/tiptap/ui-primitives",
    "tiptapUiUtils": "@/components/tiptap/ui-utils"
  }

Great. Do you still think this is a valid issue we should look into @MokatilDev?

[MokatilDev]

I think yes
