No TypeScript binary found, so skipping typecheck
Yeah after referring to https://github.com/get-convex/convex-js/blob/68a31e140028e414447eba72ca89d889a17d8428/src/cli/lib/typecheck.ts#L100 , it indeed is not finding typescript. Looks like I didn't have typescript as a dev dependency. After adding it, it worked properly.
My recommendations:
- I based my monorepo on the get-convex template: https://github.com/get-convex/turbo-expo-nextjs-clerk-convex-monorepo/blob/main/packages/backend/package.json . It does not have typescript as a dependency in the backend package, which I believe is how the error got propagated. I'll open a pull request for that.
- convex-cli should warn the user that tsc failed when typecheck is in 'try' mode. Otherwise you might get a false sense that your code has no errors.
