TSC won't compile on different systems - node.js

Question

I created a node app in typescript. When I run tsc locally everything works and I can run the app. But when I deploy on heroku, it is giving me compilation errors :
app/api/controllers/ingredient.controller.ts(3,24): error TS2307: Cannot find module '../schemas/ingredient.schema'.
app/api/controllers/ingredient.controller.ts(23,13): error TS7006: Parameter 'units' implicitly has an 'any' type.
app/api/controllers/ingredient.controller.ts(30,42): error TS7006: Parameter 'result' implicitly has an 'any' type.
app/api/controllers/ingredient.controller.ts(37,70): error TS7006: Parameter 'result' implicitly has an 'any' type.
app/api/controllers/ingredient.controller.ts(44,70): error TS7006: Parameter 'result' implicitly has an 'any' type.
The strange thing is that I made sure all versions are the same: NPM, Node, TSC ...
I have a TSConfig that is picked up and used. Where else am I supposed to look ?

Advice
Run tsc locally and deploy the built .js files.
Don't deploy typescript files, that's going to add a lot of code to your remote code base.
The Error
this errors means some ts rules are not getting applied to your local ts.
I noticed rootDir is ./app and you have include as /app. Maybe it's looking for an /app folder under /app. Try ./ as root and see if that fixes it. Btw, I'm the creator of OvernightJS and I highly recommend you transpile all code before deploying.
