Typescript node app does not build via github actions on azure apps

Avinash Rajput 1

When I attempt to build my typescript node app to azure apps via github actions, I get the following build error: "/home/site/wwwroot/node_modules/.bin/tsc: 1: /home/site/wwwroot/node_modules/.bin/tsc: ../typescript/bin/tsc: not found".

The application runs successfully on my local machine.

Can you provide a snippet of the build tasks of your yml @Avinash Rajput ?

The build fails when attempting to run typescript compile as part of the "npm start" command.

The following is the error in the build log:
/home/site/wwwroot/node_modules/.bin/tsc: 1: /home/site/wwwroot/node_modules/.bin/tsc: ../typescript/bin/tsc: not found

Is there a way to specify pre build steps on the build machine?

I don't see anything out of order with your yaml. Can you share your package.json file as well? npm install should install any dependencies your project has.
