Docker and ts-node

[crivera]

Hi

I have a mini project where the package.json looks like this:

{
  "name": "test",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "test.js",
  "scripts": {
    "meow": "ts-node -e 'console.log(\"test\")'"
  },
  "keywords": [],
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "ts-node": "^7.0.1",
    "typescript": "^3.1.3"
  }
}

When I do npm install and then run npm run meow i see the print out of test.

Now when I do put this now in a docker image with the docker file being:

FROM node:latest

COPY . . 

RUN npm install

ENTRYPOINT ["npm"]

CMD ["run", "meow"]

When i do docker build -t test . and then run docker run -it test the process just seems stuck. Nothing happens.

Have you guys experienced that before? Do I need a special node version?

Thanks
Chris

When I update the meow command to: node -e 'console.log(\"test\")' and build a new docker image it works fine.

Do you have a tsconfig.json file?

[crivera]

No... do I need one? If yes why?

[blakeembrey]

You don’t need one, but probably should have one. I’m taking a guess that it may be related to #690.

[blakeembrey]

Closing this for now, should be resolved with #690 in 8.0.

It seems like you need a WORKDIR amd then it will execute.
