Issue with Deploying Adonis Container to GCP Cloud

[reiguy77]

Yesterday I was dealing with a strange issue when deploying to GCP cloud.
I created a basic adonis app using "npm init adonisjs@latest -- -K=api --db=postgres" and added a few routes. I then wanted to deploy this app to google cloud run. Building the docker image locally works fine, but when I try it on GCP cloud build I get the following error: "Step #0 - "Build": start/kernel.ts(32,34): error TS2307: Cannot find module '#exceptions/handler' or its corresponding type declarations."

Workaround: I found that when I commented out the line in kernel.ts server.errorHandler(() => import('#exceptions/handler')) it built successfully(meaning the other module imports worked fine). Then I decided to move the handler file to another folder "exception,"(without an 's' at the end) and added a map "#exception/": "./app/exception/.js" in my package.json, this also worked fine.

I am not sure what it is about a folder named exceptions in combination with the GCP cloud build environment that is causing this. Just wanted to raise attention to this.

The dockerfile I am using is

FROM node:22 AS base


FROM base AS production-deps
WORKDIR /app
ADD package.json package-lock.json ./
RUN npm ci --omit=dev

FROM base AS build
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=deps /app/node_modules /app/node_modules
ADD . .
RUN node ace build

FROM base
ENV NODE_ENV=production
WORKDIR /app
COPY --from=production-deps /app/node_modules /app/node_modules
COPY --from=build /app/build /app

CMD ["node", "./bin/server.js"]
