Serverless Stack

I am trying to run the latest version of <https://github.com/serverless-stack/demo-notes-app> on Windows 11 and it fails to build. When I run `npx sst start` I get the following error:

```Preparing your SST app
X [ERROR] The entry point "C:\\...\\sst-demo-notes-app\\stacks\\index.js" cannot be marked as external

Build failed with 1 error:
error: The entry point "C:\\...\\sst-demo-notes-app\\stacks\\index.js" cannot be marked as external```
This previously worked before the commit to "Update SST to v1".

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

<@U01MV4U2EV9> <@U01JVDKASAC> This is the same on windows 10. It seems the path filter for external modules is not effective for a windows path in node_modules\@serverless-stack\core\dist\stacks\build.js

doing a layman's replacement seems to work for this step
``` if(root.indexOf("C:\\")==0){
        entry = entry.replace(root+"\\", "./")
        entry = entry.replace("\\", "/")
    }```
but then the process fails again later

This could perhaps be related to the resolveDirs also starting with "C:\", but I;m not sure how to fix this in the Esbuild callback

ah - no found a fix for part2 :slightly_smiling_face: in `node_modules\@serverless-stack\cli\assets\debug-stack\bin\index.mjs`

I wonder how this is working for non-windows, is nodejs including .mjs when you try to import .js ?

there's a different way to fix this by doing `new URL(path).href` or something, it's annoying but I've had to find all places where we dynamically import so it works on windows

great that there's a more elegant way :wink: after these 2 changes deployment worked for me on Windoze and I can now happily go back to WSL / Ubuntu :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

hm that second file already has the fix I was referring to

```// Validate the `debugStack` option in user SST app's index
const handler = await import(
  url.pathToFileURL(appBuildLibPath + "/index.js").href
);```

<@U03HTB18RFC> can you try `sst update snapshot` and see if that works

<@U01MV4U2EV9> just giving it a try again on W10 with the snapshot and it seem to work fine now. When installing from the cloned repo, I didn't do an explicit `npx sst update`

Perhaps this explains why I didn't have the fix you mentioned included before.

huge compliments for your superb speed of rolling out fixes btw. I feel this makes the SST team quite unique.

<@U01MV4U2EV9> Yes this now works. Thank you for your help. Sorry we had a long bank holiday here in the UK and I took an extended break so I've just got back.
