Current behavior

Hi there,
Thank you for this great boilerplate ! Been working on it all day yesterday, but had a quack when I tried to build the project.

I tried building from the repo without any modification and had the same issue.

Looks like an issue with PINO. I tried many things to fix it and made it with on of the following:

• Change these dependencies version to "nestjs-pino": "^2", "pino": "^6.4", "pino-http": "^5.6.0", "pino-pretty": "^6"
• Or simply by added NODE_ENV=production to script.start in package.json

Any better way to fix it ?

Thanks,
Tim

Thanks for the report, it should be a known issue and the reason is because of pino-pretty. I do not point out that in the README is because I expect we will not use pino-pretty in a production build, so I assume you have NODE_ENV=production in the .env or docker env by default. But for some reason if you still want to use pino-pretty in the production, you can use pino-webpack-plugin to solve this, just simply install it and add some lines the webpack.config.js.

pnpm install -D pino-webpack-plugin

// webpack.config.js
const { PinoWebpackPlugin } = require('pino-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
  // ...
  plugins: [
    // ...
    new PinoWebpackPlugin({ transports: ['pino-pretty'] }),
  ],
}

I tested in the v2.2.1, seems upgraded packages make the webpack version not sync and break the build, so I have to force override the version to make it work. No this step requires for v2.2.0.

// package.json
{
  ...
  "pnpm": {
    "overrides": {
      "webpack": "^5.78.0"
    }
  }
}

Maybe I will point out this in the README for the next release, Thanks.
