Nodejs Typescript server failed to deploy

1

Hello everyone, please I need assistance with this.
I’m trying to deploy my typescript server to render.com.
In my package.json file of my API code, I have this as my build command : “rimraf ./build && tsc”,
And I’m my render web service settings, I have in the start command to be: node ./build/src/server.js.
But this is the error log when I deploy
==> Running ‘node ./build/src/server.js’
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1147
throw err;
^
Error: Cannot find module ‘/opt/render/project/src/build/src/server.js’

Hi there,

Error: Cannot find module ‘/opt/render/project/src/build/src/server.js’

This is letting you know that the service cannot find the the server.js file in the /build/src/ directory. Is this file present in the connected Git repository at the same path off of the root?

Hello Mike,
Thanks for replying to my post.

As a response, I created a build command to build it online not locally. It doesn’t, but this is my package.json {
“build”: “rimraf build && tsc”,
“start”: “node -r module-alias/register ./build/src/server.js”,
“test”: “echo "Error: no test specified" && exit 1”,
“dev”: “SET APP_ENV=development & nodemon src/server.ts”
} for that command
The build folder is supposed to be at the root directory to hold the compiled ts files while the src folder itself is the ts files folder
