Deployment issue

[SmegDan]

Hello all,

I'm getting the below error when trying to deploy on Sparkedhost.

TSError: ⨯ Unable to compile TypeScript:
utils/i18n.ts:1:18 - error TS7016: Could not find a declaration file for module 'i18n'. '/home/container/node_modules/i18n/index.js' implicitly has an 'any' type.

Any information re. a fix for this?

My servers startup command is set to the below. Could this be the reason?

if [[ -d .git ]]; then git pull; fi; if [[ ! -z ${NODE_PACKAGES} ]]; then npm install ${NODE_PACKAGES}; fi; if [ -f /home/container/package.json ]; then npm install --production; fi; npx ts-node /home/container/index.ts

Not sure about your specific set up, but after installing packages, you can run npm run build this will create a /dist folder with transpiled javascript so you don't have to run typescript after building, this should make it easier for you

After that you can run the bot with node ./dist/index.js

Perfect, I shall give it a try. Unfortunately, the host I am with doesn't allow for manual changing of the startup command so I have submitted a ticket to have this changed to your suggestion of npm run build. Hopefully this will solve my issue and then once I see if this has solved it I will ask them to then change it to node ./dist/index..js

Thank you again

If it's just one command then you can use npm run prod to build & run at the same time

"scripts": {
    "dev": "nodemon index.ts",
    "start": "ts-node index.ts",
    "build": "tsc --build",
    "prod": "npm run build && node ./dist/index.js",
    "commit": "cz"
  },

Just need to thank you @eritislami . Your suggestion worked perfectly!
