Typescript file path .ts inside code, not correct when compiled

I'm using the following code inside workers.ts, to load a Bull MQ worker file.

const worker = new Worker('parse', `${ __dirname }/workers/worker-parse.ts`);

Now during development I use the following script, which is working fine

npx pm2 start src/index.ts --watch

But when I build using tsc, the .ts file path won't work anymore since it's compiled to .js.

This is my production script

"prod": "tsc && npx pm2 start ecosystem.config.js --env production",

Now I'm wondering, is there any way that I can make sure that in the compiled version, my workers script will look for worker-parse.js, instead of .ts.

Or is there any way in TS to omit the extension? (Tried it but doesn't work out of the box)

1. Try using worker-parse.js in typescript. In JS that would be obviously correct. Depending on the used resolver(or runtime) that could work in TS. E.g. with nodenext resolutions having .js extension for ts file imports is regiured, but no idea if that works with workers for your exact case.

2. Get the extension of current file from import.meta.url (or __filename)

const ext = import.meta.url.split('.').pop()!;
const worker = new Worker('parse', `${ __dirname }/workers/worker-parse.${ext}`);
