I’m running a docker application. One of my containers is running node + express + typescript and I face weird issue. I have a file that exports type and file that imports it. In my idee (vs code) there is no such error.
error: SyntaxError: The requested module ‘./account.js’ does not provide an export named ‘Account’

account.ts

export type Account = {
  accountID?: string;
  name: string;
  description?: string;
  balance?: number;
  userID?: string;
};

index.ts

import { Cashflow } from "./cashflow.js";
import { Account } from "./account.js";
import { Goal } from "./goal.js";
import { createAccountAttrSchema } from "./createAccountAttrSchema.js";
import { updateAccountAttrSchema } from "./updateAccountAttrSchema.js";
import { createCashflowAttrSchema } from "./createCashflowAttrSchema.js";
import { updateCashflowAttrSchema } from "./updateCashflowAttrSchema.js";
import { createGoalAttrSchema } from "./createGoalAttrSchema.js";
import { updateGoalAttrSchema } from "./updateGoalAttrSchema.js";

export {
  Cashflow,
  Account,
  Goal,
  createAccountAttrSchema,
  updateAccountAttrSchema,
  createCashflowAttrSchema,
  updateCashflowAttrSchema,
  createGoalAttrSchema,
  updateGoalAttrSchema,
}
