If tsconfig.json cannot be parsed (invalid JSON) we should not say that it's not found.

So good catch - how about instead, we prepend the ${filePath} not found to the original err.message, and then re-throw err so we maintain the full stack trace?

could you instead capture the stack trace, so that the original stack is in the error, but throw the new message? it feels a little weird mucking with an error (a little too magic).
