Howdy! I'm having some problems that copyFiles seems to not be working with

sst start

, but works with

sst deploy

. I have tried both for a Function and an Api path. Anybody using this?

Hey @Pål Brattberg, yeah currently

copyFiles

does not get run on

sst start

.

Yeah, so this is for a tiny express app running on Lambda, just used for OAuth verification. I used to bundle the template file with sls, but now with sst I am using copyFiles. For deploy it works great and I know where my template will reside (just a folder below the root of the zip. However, when trying this locally with sst start, the template files are not alongside the function, so I'd need to hard-code knowledge of the source structure to find the template, and only do that while launched from sst start (no matter the stage), which is a smelly thing 🙂 Having copyFiles simply do a similar thing was my expectation. I understand it might not be as simple as copying the files to the new destination, relative to the function och endpoints since it may duplicate the copied files locally and make live-reload un-intuitive, but no matter if it's copied or linked, it would be nice to be able to work with local development of functions that rely on copyFiles @Frank Not a deal-breaker ofc, since there is a work-around kludge available

I see. Can you share the folder structure of where the template file is relative to the function code?
