generate:types hangs forever after successly writing into output file

[Stupidism]

It just hangs forever

PAYLOAD_CONFIG_PATH=apps/xxx/src/payload.config.ts ts-node --project apps/xxx/tsconfig.app.json -r tsconfig-paths/register ./node_modules/payload/dist/bin/index.js generate:types

> nx run payload-types:generate

[16:48:39] INFO (payload): Compiling TS types for Collections and Globals...
[16:48:39] INFO (payload): Types written to libs/payload-types/src/generated/payload-types.ts

I don't know the reason this happened yet. Maybe it's because I'm using ts-node.

Workaround

1. Open the binary file :

code node_modules/payload/dist/bin/generateTypes.js

2. Add an exit command:

        fs_1.default.writeFileSync(outputFile, compiled);
        logger.info(`Types written to ${outputFile}`);
+        process.exit(0);

3. Use patch-package to persist the change

npx patch-package payload

4. You will get patch file for payload like this:

diff --git a/node_modules/payload/dist/bin/generateTypes.js b/node_modules/payload/dist/bin/generateTypes.js
index 357e56d..f805a31 100644
--- a/node_modules/payload/dist/bin/generateTypes.js
+++ b/node_modules/payload/dist/bin/generateTypes.js
@@ -393,6 +393,7 @@ function generateTypes() {
     }).then((compiled) => {
         fs_1.default.writeFileSync(outputFile, compiled);
         logger.info(`Types written to ${outputFile}`);
+        process.exit(0);
     });
 }
 exports.generateTypes = generateTypes;

Did you figure out why it was hanging? I've never seen this before.

No. I didn't. But the workaround works fine for me.

I have the same issue when using redis/bullmq, after the patch now i am stuck on "Starting Payload"

@DanRibbens here is the setup i added in discord pretty easy to reproduce
