App generated with npm create feathers@latest grocy-micro-ui and Typescript selected. See #3409 for additional hurdles that had to be overcome to get this far.

This is probably related to your issue in https://github.com/feathersjs/feathers/discussions/3414. It looks like your app didn't generate properly (possibly due to a crash during installation or missing file permissions). Generating a new app might likely solve the problem.

Yep, thank you. Apologies!
