Typescript build error for missing modules or types declaration

Support

Hello!

I am totally new here so please forgive me for my maybe newbie question.
This is my netlify site name: https://sharp-feynman-110ca1.netlify.app.

I would like to deploy a monorepo that performs an Apollo GraphQL for the backend and a create react app for the frontend. The project is configured like this:

-- root
---- netlify.toml
---- package.json (with common scripts)
---- node_modules
---- client
-------- src
-------- package.json
-------- node_modules
-------- ts.config
---- server
-------- functions
-------- src
-------------- macro-product
-------------------- macroProduct.typedefs.ts
-------------------- index.ts
-------------- types
------------------ types.graphql.generated
-------- package.json
-------- node_modules
-------- ts.config
-------- codegen.yml

The server/codegen.yml file generates, through graphql code generator typescript types from server/src/macroProduct.typedefs.ts producing server/src/types/types.graphql.generated.
What server/src/macroProduct.typedefs.ts contains is this:


const typedefs = gql`
  type MacroProduct {
    id: Int!
    parentPartNo: Int!
    childPartNo: Int!
    quantity: Int!
  }

  extend type Query {
    macroProducts: [MacroProduct!]!
    macroProduct(id: Int!): MacroProduct
  }
`;

export default typedefs;

I am running the build command inside netlify.toml that makes run a prebuild:server command to install all the dependencies inside the server folder an then launches tsc to build the server.
If I run it locally everything works while when I try to deploy it with Netlify this is the error I receive:

11:36:48 PM: src/macro-product/index.ts:2:49 - error TS2307: Cannot find module './macroProduct.typeDefs' or its corresponding type declarations.
11:36:48 PM: 2 export { default as macroProductTypeDefs } from './macroProduct.typeDefs';

This is my server/tsconfig.json:

    "compilerOptions": {
        "allowJs": true,
        "pretty": true,
        "module": "commonjs",
        "sourceMap": true,
        "target": "es2019",
        "outDir": "./functions/bundle",
        "lib": ["ES6"],
        "resolveJsonModule": true, 
        "types": ["node"],
        "moduleResolution": "node",
        "esModuleInterop": true,
        "strict": true,
        "declaration": true,
        "typeRoots": [ "./node_modules/@types", "./types", "./functions/bundle" ]
    },
  "include": ["src"],
  "exclude": ["node_modules", "src/**/__tests__"]
}

I am really stuck at this issue. I have tried to move the generated types file in the same directory of the source file (removing the typeRoots field in server/tsconfig.json) but it did not work.

Could gently someone try to help me?

Thanks a lot!

This problem was a case of: case sensitivity.

Sorry if someone has wasted his/her time on this.
