I have a monorepo setup with turborepo that includes a commons library with shared code, a react web app and and NestJS app.

My NestJS app use some code from the library and I added paths in the tsconfig.json like this

"paths": {
  "@commons/*": [
    "../../packages/commons/src/*"
  ]
}

If I run nest start I have the following error:
Cannot find module '/home/username/dev/my-project/apps/backend/dist/main'

The dist folder contains 1 folder for the app and 1 for the commons library:
apps/backend/src and packages/commons/src

I’ve found a way to make the NestJS app work by changing the entry file to apps/backend/src/main but it seems more like a workaround than the correct solution to me.

What I would like is to have my NestJS app built in direclty in the dist folder.

Is there a config setup that would work this way ?

I have also check the NestJS “monorepo mode” doc but from what I understood, it seems like only NestJS apps monorepo and I guess, is not applying to other monorepo solutions.
