Typescript compiler looping when "resolveJsonModule": true,

Question

My typescript project compiles just fine until I add "resolveJsonModule": true, to my tsconfig.json.

I need that flag because I pull the package name & version from package.json when I'm seeing up my logger.

tsconfig.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "module": "commonjs",
    "declaration": true,
    "removeComments": true,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
    "target": "es2017",
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "sourceMap": true,
    "outDir": "./.build",
    "baseUrl": "./",
    "strict": true,
    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
    "allowUnreachableCode": false,
    "allowUnusedLabels": false,
    "noFallthroughCasesInSwitch": true,
    "noUnusedParameters": true,
    "noUnusedLocals": true,
    "noImplicitOverride": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "noImplicitReturns": true,
    "resolveJsonModule": true,
    "typeRoots": ["./types/", "./node_modules/@types/"]
  },
  "include": ["./**/*.ts"],
  "exclude": [
    "node_modules/**/*",
    ".serverless/**/*",
    ".webpack/**/*",
    ".build/**/*",
    "_warmup/**/*",
    ".vscode/**/*",
    "*.config.js",
    "**/*.js"
  ]
}

This is the command in my package.json that is kicking off the build: "start": "npx serverless offline --stage dev --aws-profile svinstech_dev --useChildProcesses"

Thanks ahead of time!
