Build Error with ts-node

Hi, I'm using typescript and I'm getting a strange error that isn't actually in my file! 
Error:

The code in question: https://srcb.in/HRuwOaDSwE To load this file, i'm using the "import-sync" module. 
const module = importSync(filePath)

I know, I only use it for developping. Using tsc works fine. Only ts-node is having this error Oh that exists?

use deno if you want to write your bot in ts, it's easier + you don't have to configure any tsconfig.json, and there isn't any double storage thing with src/build folders

Sadly I’ve already coded my whole template with typescript in nodejs… Will this auto refresh the files when saved?

it shouldn't be that hard to convert you just install deno i think and then delete your tsconfig.json and the /build directory then deno run index.ts in cmd and u should be good to go that's what i did

idk just free ts only downside is that intellisense is hella slow

@Qjuh I've been trying to follow your advice and run the compiled code instead of using ts-node. But i can't manage to make it so my other non-ts files are added to the build (images, config files, etc) I never used the build because I never deployed to production. I was testing on my machine with ts-node So like do I put my images, config, etc outside of src?
