I am new to typescript and express. I am trying to run the simplest express app using ts-node-dev
, but get the following error.
> ./node_modules/.bin/ts-node-dev src/index.ts 16:07:40
[INFO] 16:07:42 ts-node-dev ver. 1.1.8 (using ts-node ver. 9.1.1, typescript ver. 4.7.2)
Compilation error in /home/lht/microservice/ticketing/auth/src/index.ts
Error: Debug Failure. False expression: Non-string value passed to `ts.resolveTypeReferenceDirective`, likely by a wrapping package working with an outdated `resolveTypeReferenceDirectives` signature. This is probably not a problem in TS itself.

The following is my index.ts
file.
import express from "express";
import { json } from "body-parser";
const app = express();
app.use(json());
app.listen(3000, () => {
console.log("Listening on port 3000!");
});
This is my package.json
file
{
"name": "auth",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"start": "ts-node src/index.ts"
},
"keywords": [],
"author": "",
"license": "ISC",
"devDependencies": {},
"dependencies": {
"@types/express": "^4.17.13",
"@types/node": "^17.0.35",
"express": "^4.18.1",
"ts-node": "^10.8.0",
"ts-node-dev": "^1.1.8",
"typescript": "^4.7.2"
}
}
I wonder if there are some configurations that I am doing are wrong. Thanks in advance.
Just change the ts-node-dev
version from 1.1.8
to 2.0.0-0
in my package.json
file, then run npm install
again, and the error disappears.
