I’m not sure this is working correctly. When I run it, I get this error:
$ node index.ts

In order to get a hint about where the problematic function is, you need to run the tsc command on the bash.
It’s been some time since you asked but I hope you find my answer useful.
I can’t see which function has the problem, tsc error says:
shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
internal/bootstrap/switches/does_own_process_state.js:128
cachedCwd = rawMethods.cwd();

I have the same issue. Not sure how the error could help me find out which function is problematic. Here’s what I see in the console:
shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory

Please assist us by looking into this issue if possible?

Hello, as of 12/22/22 this is still happening at least for me, the exercise does not appear to be working. I am getting the same error that @pudpark reported in April
In pupark’s screenshot, node index.ts has been entered in the terminal. Instead it should have been node index.js as indicated in the hints as well. If that doesn’t help, then consider the questions I asked in the post above yours.
$ node index.js
