How to FIX: TypeError [ERR_FEATURE_UNAVAILABLE_ON_PLATFORM]: when using ts-node-dev in start script

I am writing a node.js app using express, docker, and Kubernetes. node -v is v12.16.3 Docker version 19.03.1, build 74b1e89e8a Kubernetes using minikube

I created one Service named as auth and when I tried to deploy it using skaffold dev command I am getting below error

Bwlow is package.json file

{
  "name": "auth",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "ts-node-dev src/index.ts --poll"
  },
  "keywords": [],
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "@types/express": "^4.17.6",
    "express": "^4.17.1",
    "nodemon": "^2.0.4",
    "typescript": "^3.9.5"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "ts-node-dev": "^1.0.0-pre.44"
  }
}

Docker file

FROM node:lts-alpine

WORKDIR /app
COPY package.json .
RUN npm install
COPY . .

CMD ["npm", "start"]

Below is the skaffold.yaml

apiVersion: skaffold/v2alpha3
kind: config
deploy:
  kubectl:
    manifests:
      - ./infra/k8s/*
build:
  local:
    push: false
  artifacts:
    - image: xxxxxx/auth
      context: auth
      docker:
        dockerfile: Dockerfile
      sync:
        manual:
          - src: 'src/**/*.ts'
            dest: .

Solution

Solution: Modify the package.json with value as "start": "ts-node-dev src/index.ts --poll" And use node:lte-alpine in the Dockerfile
