If I afterwards try to use apify run I get:

Error: Actor is of an unknown format. Make sure either the 'package.json' file or 'src/__main__.py' file exists or you are in a migrated Scrapy project.

Tried again today without making any changes and worked without any issues. So, perhaps this is solved? No idea why I got the error in the first place.

Error: Expected "0.23.1" but got "0.21.5"

This is the error that breaks, and it's from esbuild (so most likely from tsx), not from our code. Sounds like you managed to install different versions of esbuild somehow.

Closing, since this is not a problem in the tooling either. And next time please be more patient and don't open issues about the very same thing in multiple places.
