Additional context
I installed all versions from the latest to the 3.3.3. Same error. Using NestJS, TypeScript, pnpm. Tried installing dependencies with pnpm install --shamefully-hoist.

Update

I'm debugging the dist folder built by tsc.
It has to be related to the ~/* path alias configured in tsconfig.json of the original TypeScript project.

I'm gonna download the TypeScript project, run the build script, and see what happens.

Update 2

I added this code at the top of the dist/index.js:

"use strict";
require('module-alias/register');

const path = require('path');
const aliases = {
  '~': path.join(__dirname, 'dist')
};
require('module-alias').addAliases(aliases);

Now the NestJS app is running without errors.

I see you're using "module-alias": "^2.2.2". There must be something wrong with it that fails to do its job in the project built for production.
