Steps:

Angular CLI: 9.1.1

Creating a library in a fresh Angular project has no issues. I am thinking it's a configuration in the angular.json, but cant seem to find anything.
Thoughts?
I hit the same issue - for me it was down to the "extends" property in tsconfig.lib.json - I had a different folder structure for projects and the library generated by ng had:
"extends": "../../../../tsconfig.json"
when the tsconfig it should inherit has only three levels up, so it should have been:
"extends": "../../../tsconfig.json"
Manually changing that fixed things for me.
For me helped to add baseUrl in tsConfig in root directory
"baseUrl": "./",
Maybe for somebody will help also

I know its frowned upon on github to write gratitude messages, but oh boy, I've been fucking with this path argument error for a few days, and you just saved me. Thank you very much! Let the nine be with you, brave pilgrim 0_0
