ERR_REQUIRE_ESM error when running application inside Docker

[samsurya336]

Hi everyone, I followed this repo to setup nodemailer for my NestJS application.
And I did

yarn add @nestjs-modules/mailer nodemailer
yarn add -D @types/nodemailer
yarn add ejs

And the application starts fine locally, no issues. Running as expected on my local machine.

But the error occurs when we try to run the application via Docker.

Note: Both my local machine & Docker image contains the same node & yarn version I cross checked it

Local machine:
OS: macOS sonoma
node: 18.20.3
yarn: 1.22.19

Below is the Error:

Docker only throw error after I installed

yarn add @nestjs-modules/mailer nodemailer
yarn add -D @types/nodemailer
yarn add ejs

When I remove those packages & Build my image & then run it. No Error occurs.

What could be the possible issue, could anyone help we with this.
Thanks in advance.
