npm run build:ssr does not work in angular 8

Question

I use angular 8 and server-side-rendering but i got error when i run npm run build:ssr As you can see, src is repeated twice home/app/front/**src/src**/main.server.ts

I tried everything without success. I move main.server.ts and i created a new src but no succes.

ERROR in error TS6053: File '/home//Desk/app/front/src/src/main.server.ts' 

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

In file src/tsconfig.server.json (generated by ng add @nguniversal/express-engine --clientProject myProject ) I changed

"files": [ "src/main.server.ts", "server.ts" ],

into

"files": [ "main.server.ts", "../server.ts" ],

After that npm run build:ssr works fine.

Answer 2

I had the same error. This is how i solved it:

In src/tsconfig.server.json

Change src/main.server.ts to main.server.ts
