NestJS compilerOptions assets wrong path

I don't really know hot to explain it but basically I have .hbs files which the mail resource needs. Normally they don't get copied into the dist folder when I run npm start run:dev. So I modified the nest-cli.json like this.

But now I have the problem that the patch which they are getting copied to are not correct.

This is how I have it in my root folder:

And this is where it gets copied to:

I´ve tried playing around with the assets path and searched for answers but I didn't find any other way of coping those files

Solution 
  • "compilerOptions": {    
"assets": [
  {
    "include": "/mail",
    "outDir": "dist/mail",
    "watchAssets": true
  },
],
"watchAssets": true
}

    note that in your first image templates folder under mail folder is same as mail/templates in your second image. And this because you have only one folder under the parent folder
