无法使用 npx babel 运行 pm2？

Question

I have a Node.js app that perfectly works with the following command:

npx babel-node dist/index.js

However, I'm not able to run this with pm2. When I do the following:

pm2 start --interpreter npx babel-node dist/index.js

Obviously, this does not work. And when I try:

pm2 start --interpreter babel-node dist/index.js

This does not work either, as my global babel is version 6.26.3 and my project babel is 7.0.0-0 .

Is there a way to make pm2 to play nice with npx or maybe there is a way to upgrade the system wide babel to 7.0 ?

To solve this you need to create a build and a start script in your package.json :

"scripts": {
  "build": "npx babel src -d dist",
  "start": "npm run build && node dist/index.js"
},

And then run the pm2 using the start option:

pm2 start npm --name "app name" -- start
