I have a service in another file that I'm including in my lambda handler. Reloading for live lambda only works when I make changes to the handler file, not the files its including. Is there any way to make it watch for changes on more files?

<@U02RUA6GZ47> was seeing the same thing earlier.

We just solved this, are you setting `srcPath`  on your api?

<@U02RUA6GZ47> I am, but thats the path to my handler right? My code structure is like core/bussiness logic and services/handlers. Inside handlers i include code from core dir, but when I make changes to that part of the app, I have to restart the service manually

not sure if you're asking me or the other Ross but yes we solved this

the problem is `srcPath`  if you set it the watched will only watch files within the `srcPath` root directory

so for your api routes you want to make sure to specific the full path to your route file. for example `/src/api/myroute.ts`

ahh, so I shouldn't use srcPath, and specify the full path for each handler?

yes. that was the mistake i made as well. i was using `srcPAth`  to try to simplify my route paths

but the recommendation is to simply make something like `const basePath = '/src/api'`  and concat in your routes

I have been coding for weeks by swapping back to my one file and refreshing... very happy to have it solved now.

I've been just restarting live lambda service each time I make changes to the other file...

oh wow, yeah well its much better now :slightly_smiling_face:

It's fun to confuse people by pointing people to a different Ross for help :smile:

haha I’ve definitely done that too. Slack needs to be smarter… <@U01MV4U2EV9> is irrelevant in this thread.. or was :sweat_smile:
