Compilation works but execution failed "SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module"

[Paul75]

Hello,

What happened: Compilation good but not start. Got error.

What you expected to happen: When I do with https://github.com/w3tecch/express-typescript-boilerplate and do : nexe src/app.ts --build --resource "./templates/**/*" --resource "./commands/**/*" --resource "./node_modules/**/*" --resource "./iroquois/**/*" --resource "./files/**/*" --resource "./src/**/*" --resource ".env"

It create file "app". But when I do : ./app

Got. :

laposte@FAR-Paul sl-server-nexe % ./app
/Users/laposte/Projets/crous78/sl-outils/sl-server-nexe/src/app.ts:1
import { cronsLoader } from './loaders/cronsLoader';
^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible): I use this script to do my project write into (typescript) but can compile with npm run build and got into dist directory js files : https://github.com/w3tecch/express-typescript-boilerplate

Hi @Paul75 You need to make sure your entrypoint is a javascript application and not a typescript application. Follow the build instructions on that repo and I think the entryfile is located at

./dist/app.js

[Paul75]

Hello,

I'm sure is point to javascript ....

[calebboyd]

The command you posted is pointing at a typescript file nexe src/app.ts

[Paul75]

Hello,

But the same if I do nexe dist/app.js

thanks

@Paul75 It works by ts to js~ the js must be es5 but if you use typeorm, you must be sure the ormconfig.json correct ponit to js entity！

@Paul75 I had the same issue without ts, solved by including everything in the build "-r ./" or "-r */**", can't recall which actually did it. I imagine you have "type": "module" in your package.json, not sure if including it is the right approach, but hey at least now I have a different error :P
