Next.js script - SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<'

[tomasvorel2]

Hey everyone,
I'm running into issues when I try to run a script in my Next.js (version 12.3.2) project using ts-node. I'm using all kinds of util functions from all across the project. When I want to run the script, I get an error pointing to one of my React components (which I'm not using/importing inside the script file), more specifically to an import of a static file: import staticFile from 'public/img/static-file.svg'. This actually applies to everything that is not jsx (.css files etc.) which makes sense as I have the jsx option set to react in my compilerOptions. However, I'd like to simply "make the script run" without Typescript yelling at me. I googled for solutions, tried adding .d.ts files with module declarations (not sure if that was even something that could help) but without success. I'm about 87% sure the issue is in an incorrect setup of my tsconfig.json but I'm far from an expert when it comes to compiler setup, so I cannot tell where. I'd be grateful for any pointers.

Script command

"the-script": "ts-node -r tsconfig-paths/register ./src/scripts/the-script.ts",

Package versions

ts-node version - 10.9.1
typescript version - 4.9.4
node version - 19.3.0

My tsconfig.json
