angular SSR using @nguniversal/express-engine package get this error (ERROR in error TS6053: File '/project/src/server.ngtypecheck.ts' not found.)

Question

I am using @nguniversal/express-engine to Server Side Rendering in angular.When I run $ nmp build:ssr or $ npm run dev:ssr i get this error.

ERROR in error TS6053: File 'C:/dev/web/workspace/project/src/server.ngtypecheck.ts' not found.
error TS6053: File 'C:/dev/web/workspace/project/src/server.ts' not found.
error TS6053: File 'C:/dev/web/workspace/project/src/src/main.server.ngtypecheck.ts' not found.
error TS6053: File 'C:/dev/web/workspace/project/src/src/main.server.ts' not found.

npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1
npm ERR! client@0.0.0 build:ssr: `ng build --prod && ng run client:server:production`
npm ERR! Exit status 1
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the client@0.0.0 build:ssr script.
npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

How did you added nguniversal ? And which version of angular is ? — abhay tripathi, Aug 05 '20 at 11:41
@abhaytripathi thanks for reply. i added nguniversal with `$ ng add @nguniversal/express-engine` and my angular version is 10.0.1 — mf340, Aug 05 '20 at 12:01
@abhaytripathi `/server.ngtypecheck.ts` and `main.server.ngtypecheck.ts` not exist. — mf340, Aug 05 '20 at 12:09
@abhaytripathi and `server.ts` exist in root not in `src/server.ts`. and `main.server.ts` exit in `src/main.server.ts` not in `/src/src/main.server.ts` — mf340, Aug 05 '20 at 12:11
Can you add your angular.json file? that's where the links to your `main.ts` and `main.server.ts` are... I assume you have a typo there. I have `"projects:ClientApp:architect:build:options:main": "src/main.ts"` and `"projects:ClientApp:architect:server:options:main": "server.ts"` — Pieterjan, Aug 05 '20 at 13:37
Hard to tell where the `/src/src` is coming from, but I think it definitely shouldn't be there. — Pieterjan, Aug 05 '20 at 14:18

Had the same issue, the doubling-up of src/src is occurring from tsconfig.server.json. I encountered this error running build:ssr for Angular, the solution as described here: npm run build:ssr does not work in angular 8 is quite simple. We need to edit the src/tsconfig.server.json.

I had to make two changes; both were described in that solution.

Navigate to src/tsconfig.server.json

Change src/main.server.ts to main.server.ts,
Change server.ts to ../server.ts.

Props to the other thread for the solution really,
