How to Successfully Run Code in Your Server Directory with vite-node

If you're diving into server-side scripting with vite-node, you may encounter a frustrating obstacle: the dreaded import error when trying to run your code. In this guide, we’ll explore a common issue related to running database migrations located in your project’s server directory using vite-node and how to resolve it effectively.

The Problem: Import Errors in vite-node

While setting up your project, you might have your database migration scripts located in a path like $lib/server/migrate.ts. However, when attempting to execute the script using the following command:

This can be incredibly frustrating, especially when you are only intending to run this script on the server side.



The Solution: Adding the .ts Extension

The solution to this problem is actually quite simple and can be accomplished with a small adjustment to your command. Here’s how you can do it:

Step-by-Step Instructions

Modify Your Command: Instead of running your script without the .ts extension, add it explicitly to your command.

Change:

Run the Command: Execute the updated command in your terminal.

Why Does This Work?

By specifying the .ts extension, vite-node understands that you are targeting a TypeScript file intended for server execution, thus bypassing the client-side import error. This small change indicates that you're specifically intended to import a server-side module, ensuring that the import path is correctly recognized.



Conclusion

Navigating potential pitfalls with vite-node can be a challenge, but sometimes the solution is as simple as ensuring you're specifying the correct file type in your command. Make sure to always include the .ts extension when running server-side scripts to avoid any unintended client-side import errors.

With this knowledge, you can confidently run your database migrations and other server-side scripts without the hassle of error messages. Happy coding!
