Can you help me understand this behavior and share how would you solve this “properly”?
I’m running Node.JS (v20.12.2), Yarn (4.1.1), tsc (5.4.5) and have following goals:
- Run the app locally with ts-node & ts-node-dev.
- Export the app with tsc to run in elsewhere.
I can run (2) yarn build (basically yarn tsc), then node dist/server.js works.
I fail at (1) yarn dev / start (yarn ts-node ./src/index.ts) both fail with the error below. If I do what it says and add ./src folder as dependency in package.json it works, but that looks very strange to me… I don’t get why tsc is able to work with the src folder and ts-node is not. Is that really how this is supposed to work or I miss something obvious? Thanks!
File structure:
- project home
- package.json
- .pnp.cjs
- tsconfig.json
- src
- server.ts
- dist
- server.js

Error: Your application tried to access src, but it isn't declared in your dependencies; this makes the require call ambiguous and unsound.
