Current behavior

Default nestjs project when you build it creates a simple structure dist in your root folder:

├───dist
│   ├───modules
│   └───shared

But if you add a library from schematics and in build it have different behaviour

├───dist
│   ├───libs
│   └───src
│       ├───auth
│       └───shared

So nodemon does not work properly since it by default look at dist not at dist/src.

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

• Create a hello world project in nestjs
• Add from schematics a new library with any prefix
• Try start:dev or prod (it wont start properly, only will built the dist folder.)

Environment

OS: Windows
Nestjs Version 6.5.0
Node Version: v12.3.1
NPM Version: 6.10.0

Yes, you have to update your configuration manually. Library feature is still not fully covered

I updated the node_modules and it is working as expected

I am reopening the issue. Since it's happening again. I am providing a sample repo for easy to go reproduction: https://github.com/ruslanguns/nestjs-test-repo

Comands yarn start:prod, yarn build, yarn start:dev are not working, since the tsconfig is wrong with the schematics (my guess).

@jmcdo29 provided a work around in a PR ruslanguns/nestjs-test-repo#1 (comment) hope it can help others to find a temporary solution.

I have the same kind of issue when putting a typescript file in my root dir (ie at the same level than src folder)
To fix that, I would say that you need to play with rootDir and include options in your tsconfig files.

But at the end, I guess you might want to build your artifacts in separate folders : dist/libs/utils and dist/website. I mean that you will want to replace src by something else. So you might put your folders libs/utils and website under a src folder

@kamilmysliwiec : I understand that library is not fully supported, but if you agree I would be happy to submit a PR to update the current tsconfig file with a rootDir (because it's so easy to add a ts file in rootDir, that's what I always do when I read the graphql doc with generate-typings.ts : https://docs.nestjs.com/graphql/quick-start)
