Talawa API setup failing (Windows + WSL) – pino-pretty transport error​

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to set up the Talawa backend API locally but I’m stuck with a persistent error on both Windows and WSL. I followed the installation guide step by step, but the API container never becomes healthy.

Environment​

OS: Windows 11 + WSL (Ubuntu)

Node version: v23.7.0

Branch: develop

Setup method: Docker devcontainer...
