This was actually solved in another thread, but I’m trying to figure out why – and how to solve it a different way.
I get a build error on my Typescript Node/Express server that says “tsc not found.” I have typescript as a dev dependency and yarn install; yarn build as my build step: This is my package.json:
"scripts": {
"build": "tsc",
"start": "node ./dist/src/index.js & node ./dist/src/utilities/cron.js",
"dev": "nodemon ./src/index.ts & nodemon ./src/utilities/cron.ts",
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
"db:migrate": "knex migrate:latest"
},
"devDependencies": {
"@types/cors": "^2.8.12",
"@types/express": "^4.17.14",
"@types/knex": "^0.16.1",
"@types/node": "^18.7.20",
"@types/node-cron": "^3.0.4",
"@types/passport": "^1.0.11",
"@types/passport-http-bearer": "^1.0.37",
"@types/pg": "^8.6.5",
"@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin": "^5.38.1",
"@typescript-eslint/parser": "^5.38.1",
"eslint": "^8.24.0",
"nodemon": "^2.0.20",
"prettier": "^2.7.1",
"ts-node": "^10.9.1",
"typescript": "^4.8.4"
},
"dependencies": {
"axios": "^0.27.2",
"cors": "^2.8.5",
"dotenv": "^16.0.3",
"express": "^4.18.1",
"knex": "^2.3.0",
"node-cron": "^3.0.2",
"openai": "^3.0.0",
"passport": "^0.6.0",
"passport-http-bearer": "^1.0.1",
"pg": "^8.8.0",
"twitter-api-v2": "^1.12.8"
}
Here’s where it gets weird. If I change my NODE_ENV env variable to “development” instead of “production,” it solves the issue. This is a bandaid fix for me though because I don’t want my prod server to think it’s in dev (I used NODE_ENV elsewhere in my app). Anyone find a different workaround?
