Search Terms

input-type=module

Expected Behavior

ts-node -e "import 'package.json'"

import statements should work from CLI.

Actual Behavior

node:internal/errors:490
    ErrorCaptureStackTrace(err);
    ^

Error [ERR_INPUT_TYPE_NOT_ALLOWED]: --input-type can only be used with string input via --eval, --print, or STDIN

Steps to reproduce the problem

ts-node -e "import 'package.json'"

Trying with input-type=module also does not work. It is not recognized as an option to ts-node.
