Error: Cannot find module '/opt/render/project/src/dist/index.js'

Hi there,

First time posting and new here. Thanks in advance for helping me out.

I’m running into the following after my start command runs (this is a nodejs project):

==> Build successful 🎉
==> Deploying...
==> Running 'node dist/index.js'
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1147
  throw err;
  ^

In my settings, I have the following:

Root directory: blank
Build command: npm install && npm run build
Start command: node dist/index.js
This all works locally, so I’m unsure what might be happening. The index.js file does exist after running the build command.
