    "module": "commonjs",
    "declaration": true,
    "removeComments": true,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "target": "es6",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "outDir": "./dist",
    "baseUrl": "./",

    "resolveJsonModule": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "allowJs": true,
    "checkJs": true, 
    "noEmit": true
  },
  "exclude": ["node_modules"],
  "paths": {
    "@app/*": ["src/*"],
    "@test/*": ["test/*"]
  }
}

package.json

 "scripts": {
    "build": "tsc -p tsconfig.build.json",
    "format": "prettier --write \"src/**/*.ts\"",
    "start": "npm run start:prod",
    "start:dev": "concurrently --handle-input \"wait-on dist/main.js && nodemon\" \"tsc -w -p tsconfig.build.json\" ",
    "start:prod": "node dist/src/main.js",
    "lint": "tslint -p tsconfig.json -c tslint.json",
    "test": "jest",
    "test:watch": "jest --watch",
    "test:cov": "jest --coverage",
    "test:debug": "node --inspect-brk -r tsconfig-paths/register -r ts-node/register node_modules/.bin/jest --runInBand",
    "test:e2e": "jest --config ./test/jest-e2e.json",

Had the same issue, the problem is TS compiler won't generate /dist (compile JS to TS) if there're some .tsbuildinfo files (when incremental option is on).

So, basically what you need to do is remove all .tsbuildinfo files before you build the project.

Or simply turn off the incremental and noEmit options in your tsconfig.json:

"noEmit": false       // <- remove this or set to false
"incremental": false, // <- remove this or set to false
