error: module not found about bkg

[paulocoghi]

Feedback to maintainers. On src/compiler.zig, it would be interesting to not compile the project or give a warning when the entry point file doesn't exists.

Hi, like @paulocoghi suggested, bkg assumes index.js to be the entry point of the application. This can be changed by creating a bkg.config.json at the root directory of your project:

{
    "entry": "app.ts"
}

I definitely agree that the error message is vague; in a newer version bkg will refuse to compile if it can't find the entrypoint, with a more elegant message.

I believe it would be less difficult to the maintainers to help if you provide reproducible details. In case it's too much code, could you publish on a repository?

@paulocoghi That's the thing, I have literally one file called my cli.ts and it's literally one line: console.log('TBD') :D

[paulocoghi]

Good news. In my tests, I identified that only index.js works as a default entry point, and using any other file, like index.ts, will reproduce your error.

The solution is to inform bkg what your entry point is, by creating a bkg.config.json with the content:

{
    "entry": "index.ts"
}

It will work properly, then.

@mjp0 When possible, could you try the proposed solution and give a feedback?

Works for me too.
