I have the following isolated monorepo structure :

/-packages

- / api

- / app

But i'm just trying to deploy the api on railway only,. I've set the root directory to /packages/api/ and start command to `node dist/server.js` each time it tries redeploying i keep getting the error message in the title above. Any idea how this can be resolved?

Does the package.json in your API folder have a build script?

If it doesn't you would need one so that the dist folder is built.

    "dev": "nodemon --exec node -r tsconfig-paths/register --no-warnings=ExperimentalWarning --loader ts-node/esm ./src/server.ts",

How have you confirmed that the files are in fact being created?

Nixpacks or Dockerfile?
