Is app.ts / entrypoint executed at build time ?

[emyann]

Hello! Thank you for the work being done here 🙏🏽 This all seems very promising!

I have a simple question but here as a bit of context. I'm running a code requiring that some environments variables are present at runtime otherwise it throws an error and stop the server. Usually this is the kind of code I run as soon as the server starts, but having that code in the app.ts entrypoint leads to the build failing because somehow the code is executed

I'm not sure if I have something wrong in my setup, but I wanted to know if it was intended for the code in app.ts to be executed ?

Thank you!

Hey @emyann thanks for the kind words and welcome aboard!

Yes this is a side-effect of Nexus' reflection system.

A workaround to this can be found here: graphql-nexus/nexus#732 (comment)

Solution design is happening here graphql-nexus/nexus#758
