Deployment failure: `sh: 1: tsc: Permission denied`

[akbyrd]

Describe the Issue:

When using NodeJS 18 I can reproduce a consistent failure to deploy with a brand new function.

Repro steps:

doctl serverless init test --language ts
<change runtime to nodejs:18>
doctl serverless deploy test
doctl serverless deploy test --remote-build

> build
> tsc -b

sh: 1: tsc: Permission denied

It specifically happens when building locally then building remotely. If I change my NPM build command to chmod +x node_modules/.bin/tsc && tsc -b or npm ci && tsc -b it will work properly. If I delete the node_modules folder after building locally it works again. It appears to only happen with NodeJS 18, not default/14.

My wild theory is that doctl is uploading my local node_modules folder and attempting to run that on the server. I'm on a Windows machine so the tsc script doesn't have the execute permission that Unix systems require.

Environment:

• doctl version: 1.119.1-release fdec25bc
• OS: Windows 10 22H2
• Installation method: winget

Hey I ran into this too! (1.120.0-release via scoop)

Thanks for the clues to getting past this. Deleting node_modules directory resolved it for me.
