title: Typescript compiling does nothing
body: <p>I am building a REST-Api with Express in Typescript and I am experiencing weird behavior from the Typescript-Compiler. Whenever I build the project via <code>tsc -b</code> locally on my Windows-10 machine, everything compiles fine, but when i run the same command on the exact same project on an Amazon EC2 instance, nothing happens. I see no errors and the console is just doing nothing, until I exit out via CTRL+C. And no, I am not just impatient, letting it run for several minutes has no effect either. It gets even weirder as I am able to compile single files in the root of the project by running <code>tsc index.ts</code>, but only if they are placed in the root folder. My tsconfig looks like that:</p>
  <pre class="lang-json prettyprint-override"><code>{
    &quot;compilerOptions&quot;: {
      &quot;lib&quot;: [
        &quot;es5&quot;,
        &quot;es6&quot;
      ],
      &quot;target&quot;: &quot;es5&quot;,
      &quot;module&quot;: &quot;commonjs&quot;,
      &quot;moduleResolution&quot;: &quot;node&quot;,
      &quot;outDir&quot;: &quot;./build&quot;,
      &quot;emitDecoratorMetadata&quot;: true,
      &quot;experimentalDecorators&quot;: true,
      &quot;sourceMap&quot;: true,
      &quot;esModuleInterop&quot;: true
    }
  }
  </code></pre>
  <p>and the file structure of my project is:</p>
  <pre><code>package.json
  package-lock.json
  tsconfig.json
  src/
    app.ts
    index.ts
    routes/
    entity/ 
  
  </code></pre>
  <p>My npm version is: 7.8.0 (on the Amazon EC2 Instance)</p>
  <p>My typescript version is: 4.2.4 (on the Amazon EC2 Instance)</p>
