Description
Describe the bug
When running a basic build plugin written in TypeScript (via Netlify CLI or through Netlify's build pipeline itself upon deployment), it fails with the following error:
TypeError: value.replace is not a function
I believe the underlying culprit might be the ts-node dependency in this repository. I traced it back to the following issue opened here:
- [Typescript 5.0] TypeError: value.replace is not a function TypeStrong/ts-node#2000
- this Project is already dead , please friends use tsx or swc-node to instead it TypeStrong/ts-node#2133
It seems ts-node is no longer maintained.
Steps to reproduce
With a simple build plugin as mentioned in the Netlify docs, but use TypeScript by renaming your file from .js to .ts like so: index.ts
index.ts
export const onPreBuild = async () => {
console.log('Hello');
};
netlify.toml
[[plugins]]
package = "./packages/netlify-plugins/my-plugin"
npx netlify build
CLI command and flags
npx netlify build
Configuration
[[plugins]]
package = "./packages/netlify-plugins/my-plugin"
CLI output
