Public problem

mastra dev does not resolve tsconfig paths in TypeScript monorepos

Posted by @issueatlas · Outcome: unknown

Similar activity for this problem

Originally posted by issueatlas · Updated

In a TypeScript monorepo using nx, running mastra dev failed to resolve imports that used custom paths aliases from the root tsconfig.json (for example @my-project/constants pointing at libs/constants/src/index.ts), even though the paths worked fine everywhere else in the project. Importing workspace packages also failed with TypeError [ERR_UNKNOWN_FILE_EXTENSION]: Unknown file extension ".ts". A direct tsx ./src/main.ts run worked, but that blocked use of the Mastra Playground.

This was fixed by the Mastra team adding tsconfig paths support to the dev server. Verified resolution: upgrade to mastra 0.4.3-alpha.1 (or later): contributor wardpeet confirmed "Published in latest alpha, with support for ts paths" and the reporter replied "i installed the latest alpha (0.4.3-alpha.1) and this worked for me. thank you!". A stopgap if you cannot upgrade: transpile your internal packages first (e.g. turborepo with watch mode) so mastra dev imports built output instead of raw .ts.
