+## FAQ
+
+### How do I use an nx library within the global setup/teardown files?
+
+You need to use [tsconfig-paths/register](https://github.com/dividab/tsconfig-paths) at the top of your setup/teardown files. Along with setting the TS_NODE_PROJECT environment variable tsconfig.base.json (tsconfig containing the paths aliases).
+
+```bash
+TS_NODE_PROJECT=tsconfig.base.json npx nx test <project-name>
+```
