Current behavior

After setting up a project with CLI as described in docs (without changing code), I have tried to run a command 'npm run start:prod' and get this error:

> test@0.0.1 prestart:prod /home/vmois/Projects/Portal/test
> rm -rf dist && tsc

Of course the easiest solution is to install these packages, but what if I don't use them and don't want to install. Thanks.

Expected behavior

Compile and server in dist/main.js

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

Try to setup up project with CLI, and then run 'npm run start:prod'

same issue

npm run start:prod command works in NestJS v4.5.9, so I think it is an issue related to v5.

[kamilmysliwiec]

This issue comes from Nest v5.0.0. Thanks for reporting!

[kamilmysliwiec]

Fixed in v5.0.0-beta.4. Let me know if you face any issue. 🙂

[sgomanf]

It works thanks

[robertmain]

I'm having this issue with 5.1.0

[arfaWong]

same issue with 5.1.0.

[moltar]

Same here!

[kamilmysliwiec]

I would recommend updating your packages to 5.4.0, there were no breaking changes.

[moltar]

Updated to 5.4.0, but still experiencing this issue.

[kamilmysliwiec]

The issue is definitely not present in 5.4.0. Please, ensure that all packages were updated. If you prefer, you can create a dedicated issue on StackOverflow.

I am still seeing the same issue mentioned above. Its very easy to reproduce. I am running 5.4 version.

Just create a project and run "npm run start:prod"

[y12studio]

Just for someone else experimenting this issue, my workaround was to modify the path of main.js :

sed -i.bak 's|dist/main.js|dist/src/main.js|g' package.json

If you happen to build your project in a Docker container and then run it in a different one for use in production, then don't use npm run start:prod because it counter-intuitively deletes you dist directory.

It must have been an idea for an April fools' day prank. 🤔

Just call node dist/main.js directly.

[robertmain]

The idea is to clean the built assets out before building new ones. This is to ensure you aren't running old code

[nigelvon]

Same issue with v6.4.1

It works for me :)
