npm run build:ssr does not work in angular 8

Question

I use angular 8 and server-side-rendering but i got error when i run npm run build:ssr As you can see, src is repeated twice home/app/front/**src

Answer 1

I had the same error. This is how i solved it:

In src/tsconfig.server.json

Change src/main.server.ts to main.server.ts

Answer 2

In file src/tsconfig.server.json (generated by ng add @nguniversal/express-engine --clientProject myProject ) I changed

"files": [ "src/main.server.ts", "server.ts" ],

into

"files": [ "main.server.ts", "../server.ts" ],

After that npm run build:ssr works fine.

Answer 3

ng add @nguniversal/express-engine

run this command from inside your application folder
