TS2307: Cannot find module 'joi' or its corresponding type declarations

1

Hi!

Problem appears at the building stage (logs below).

Joi package is installed. Works in dev env and builds for prod fine if runs local. Joi is used for validatoin config file (validationSchema blolow).

I’ve tried to set up tsconfig.json key “esModuleInterop” to true and install @types/joi but the error still appears.

I would be grateful for help.

Hi Alex,

It looks like your build command includes npm with no command.

If you revisit the error log you attached, it does include some details about how npm needs to be used. giving that a close read would be the best place to get started.

It never hurts spin up one of our quick starts as a reference to see what a working service uses for all the various settings.

Regards,

Matt

Thank you for reply and help!

The problem was in “empty” npm command hence new packages haven’t been installed.
I’ve edited build command to “npm install; npm run build” and all start working.

I wish everyone attentiveness and patience :slight_smile:
