Stuck getting started with a node/typescript project

Code Help
1

I am starting a new project on replit for the first time. Its a very basic scraper. I already have it working in VSCode but can’t work out how to get going in replit - would love some help! This is the error I get when i try to run my code:

Error: Cannot find module ‘/home/runner/scraper/index.js’
Require stack:

  • /nix/store/29fdcv1yhlll61ml8a31qdkrbprxd7gs-prybar-nodejs-0.0.0-67f7a00/prybar_assets/nodejs/module-context-hook.js
  • /tmp/prybar-nodejs-3321562800.js
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:985:15)
    at Function.resolve (node:internal/modules/cjs/helpers:109:19)

I added a tsconfig.json file, here it is:

{
“compilerOptions”: {
“target”: “es2021”,
“module”: “commonjs”,
“lib”: [“es2021”,“dom”],
“esModuleInterop”: true,
“moduleResolution”: “node”,
“experimentalDecorators”: true,
“noImplicitAny”: false,
“outDir”: “./build”,
“baseUrl”: “./src”,
“allowUnreachableCode”: true,
“sourceMap”: true,
“skipLibCheck”: true
},
“include”: [“src/*/”],
“exclude”: [“node_modules”]
}

I have one index.ts file inside an SRC folder and thats it.

That repl doesn’t appear to exist. Is it private?

Sorry you are right - made it public :slight_smile:

Node repls run from index.js by default. You should change the entrypoint field in the .replit file to src/index.ts

Also, if you’re planning on using TS, I’d suggest using the TypeScript template :slightly_smiling_face:

Oops sorry, should have said! You need to click the three dots at the top of the flietree and then select show hidden files.

Replit wont let me post another link here for some reason.

I tried again with the ts template you found but still cant get anything to run - maybe i should stick to VScode!

If you know of any typescript + pupeteer templates I would love to take a look. Might post a bounty for one in a bit if i cant work it out. Thanks for the help!

@drninja777 please stop sharing join links. It makes it so anybody can delete all your code. Instead please share a link to the cover page of the repl.

Looks like running the code is working but you have a bug in the code. This is now supposed to be in code help.
