Accessing rust lib from NestJS throws error

[cskiwi]

So when I tried to load in the function from the rust lib it throws:

╰─nx build app

   ×  1/2 dependent project tasks failed (see below)
   √  1/2 dependent project tasks succeeded [0 read from cache]

> nx run backend-test:build

Compiling TypeScript files for project "backend-test"...

2 import { sum } from '@app/rust-testing';

 NX   Ran target build for project app and 2 task(s) they depend on (5s)

   ×  1/2 failed
   √  1/2 succeeded [0 read from cache]

Any suggestion what might be wrong?

project can be found in: https://github.com/cskiwi/nestjs-rust
You can see the error when you try and build the backend-test library (or the full app)

nx build backend-test

Sorry about that, I'm having a hard time trying to install the deps in your repro.. I'll come around again when i update monodon to support the latest versions of Nx.

Nevermind, i got it installed. Let me see whats happening..

Ok, I figured it out for you. It's entirely because of the @nx:js:tsc executor because it creates a temporary tsconfig file that modifies the path based on the outputs of dependent packages. So in your case, you can just add an output in libs/rust/testing/project.json like so:

"build": {
      "executor": "@monodon/rust:napi",
+     "outputs": ["{workspaceRoot}/libs/rust/testing"],
      "options": {
        "dist": "libs/rust/testing",
        "jsFile": "index.js"
      },
      "configurations": {
        "production": {
          "dist": "dist/rust_testing",
          "release": true
        }
      }

If you're just building for one platform you can get away with just having the dist here go to the same location as other dists. You'll end up with a index.js, index.d.ts and a *.node file, and thats all you need to get rust code loading. If you build and run on the same platform.

Hi,

Thanks for the response. indeed now the package build. However building the full app is still failing. see github action: https://github.com/cskiwi/nestjs-rust/actions/runs/9461993977/job/26063979120

And on a second note, running the serve creates a infinite loop because it detects that the index.d.ts is changed so it rebuilds. but building updates the index.d.ts and so the cycle continues

You might have to change the dist of the napi build to outside of the source directory.
