[saurabhdaware]

what is the version of typescrint-run (you can run typescript-run --version)? can you also try npx typescript-run@latest ./otp.ts ?

[heyAyushh]

I wanted to try typescript-run using npx only, it failed again.

OS: WSL Ubuntu 20.0,

npx typescript-run@latest src/index.ts

Is it working when you globally install and run? not sure how to replicate this issue 🤔

[heyAyushh]

Hey, Thanks for fast replies.

I am using npx binary runner so that,
I don't have to install any npm modules (esbuild & ts-run) permanently on my machine,
Neither globally nor in project.

Tried to reproduce the error again.
You can also try in this Stackblitz Environment

with npx typescript-run src/index.ts

I tried the same in stackblitz

node -v 14.16.0
npm -v 7.17

Got this error.
& npm config get ignore-scripts was false

npx typescript-run src/index.ts
success Install finished in 2.7s

Error: esbuild: Failed to install correctly

Make sure you don't have "ignore-scripts" set to true. You can check this with
"npm config get ignore-scripts". If that returns true you can reset it back to
false using "npm config set ignore-scripts false" and then reinstall esbuild.

If you're using npm v7, make sure your package-lock.json file contains either
"lockfileVersion": 1 or the code "hasInstallScript": true. If it doesn't have
either of those, then it is likely the case that a known bug in npm v7 has
corrupted your package-lock.json file. Regenerating your package-lock.json file
should fix this issue.

So the issue you have on local is different from the one on stackblitz. I was aware of the one from stackblitz. it is due to incompatibility of stackblitz with few esbuild things.

It works on CodeSandbox - https://codesandbox.io/s/ts-compilation-0ucyu?file=/src/index.ts

From logs of your local run, it seems like there are some issues with postinstall script. Maybe some postinstall is getting skipped with npx in your machine. I wanted to see if it works with npm install -g typescript-run.

[heyAyushh]

Yes It is working on codesandbox, don't why it's not working in machine.

npm i -g typescript-run@latest is also failing 😢

 npm install -g typescript-run@latest

Not sure how to replicate this :(

Looks like the esbuild is not being installed properly and hence the install.js from esbuild is not there during postinstall 🤔
