I’m trying to deploy a server written in typescript to fly.io. Every time I deploy I’m met with this error.
2023-04-27T08:30:26Z [info]sh: 1: ts-node: not found
2023-04-27T08:30:26Z [info][nodemon] failed to start process, “ts-node” exec not found
The problem is that I have ts-node in my dependencies. Any suggestions as to how I can fix this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’m quite new to fly.io.
Hey @MKelsey looks like ts-node is not installed in your deployed image. Be sure it’s listed in your package.json’s dependencies. If it’s only in devDependencies, it might not get installed, for example, if NODE_ENV=production when your image is built.
Hey @guillaume thanks for the response. I do have it in my dependencies. This is my package.json file.

Am I doing something wrong? Really appreciate the support!
Maybe try without npx in “start”: “npx nodemon” → “start”: “nodemon”.
Or install ts-node globally in your Dockerfile (add RUN npm i -g ts-node)
That seems to have fixed the ts-node issue. Now I’m encountering another problem. I’ll try and sort that one. Thanks @guillaume . I really appreciate it.
