Deploy failed, app created with NodeJs(NestJs)

Build successful. But it’s showing this error「Error: Cannot find module ‘/opt/render/project/src/dist/main’」.

Please tell me the solution.

This is my github repo which I want to deploy:

Hi there

Are you calling your build command? The logs are saying “I can’t find that main under dist folder” - the dist folder is generated when you build with nest

If you go to your app in render → settings then you should have:

  • build command: npm run build
  • start command: npm run start:prod

Hey,

“nest” is not available via the native Render environment [https://render.com/docs/native-environments#builds] so the “nest build” command will most likely not work out as expected.

You can provide the command “npx @nestjs/cli build” to build your NestJS app.
