Additional context

I am running the application without docker. It is configured with a custom cron and launches itself once every day and logs the output in a dated file.

It has been working until January 26.

Today I updated the code with git pull origin master and npm install commands.

One suggestion I could give, which I really like to see in the future :

This kind of error could be catched, and sent to whatever notifiers is configured. This way, I could have been warned earlier that there was a problem.

I imagine that in some cases (unfortunately not this one), a simple code update could solve the issue.

You're still running the old built .js files. You'll either need to run npm build after updating, or use npm run start:ts rather than npm start.

173 tracks this.

npm run build was the right solution. Thanks :+1:
