So tried to do some searching back through messages, this will likely be for @Frank as I dug this one up. https://serverless-stack.slack.com/archives/C01HQQVC8TH/p1625162181261800?thread_ts=1625149044.257100&cid=C01HQQVC8TH but I think it has been mentioned before I just cant find it. Right now when using typescript I need to save the lambda file itself,

route.ts

to get SST to rebuild the function in memory. However if

route.ts

depends on other files and they are updated an esbuild transpile is not triggered. I keep finding myself in situations where I am making changes and not seeing results, and realize I forgot I need to go back and save any route's that depend on that file to get it to re-build in dev mode. Am I totally missing something to get this to work better?

Hm this shouldn't be the case. We track dependencies and rebuild functions when any dependent file changes

That’s definitely not right, I see TS recompiles happen when a file referenced by a handler is changed

Well that would be amazing, so what the heck am I doing wrong haha :)

Yeah I just checked and it works, the way this works under the hood is esbuild tells us all the files that depend on the function and we use that to create a mapping

Yup sure does. inputs has all the dependencies.

It wont rebuild for anything in

node_modules

, just in case that is what you are doing, but my experience matches @Ross Coundon’s otherwise.

Also totally down to hop into a screenshare or whatever if it can help. This is ofcourse super annoying haha. Though probably good its only me... I am using WSL2 /w ubuntu if that has impact. @Derek Kershner nope local files in my

src

folder...

I have had the “correct” experience in WSL2/U20.04, and can rule that out.

Not sure if this is at all related but when following the guide here to get VSCode debugging (https://docs.serverless-stack.com/live-lambda-development#debugging-with-visual-studio-code) When I try to run

Debug SST Start

It just says

Debugger Attached

for a few seconds then gives me the message

Add the sst.json config file in your project root to get started. Or use the create-serverless-stack CLI to create a new project.

So maybe its just having trouble finding files in general here.. 🤷‍♂️

Works with zsh too, that's what I'm using

Wonder why fish causes issues... that's odd.. However Sadly bash doesn't fix my original typescript issue where changes to dependencies are not causing a rebuild

I've also found WebStorm to be way more reliable for debugging

Hey @Ross Gerbasi, just to clarify, if u run

sst start

directly from ur terminal in bash, you don’t get this error right?

Add the sst.json config file in your project root to get started. Or use the create-serverless-stack CLI to create a new project.

But changing dependencies does not trigger a rebuild right?

@Frank yeah thats right.

sst start

forks fine in

fish

or

bash

. VSCode launcher for debugging only seems to work wish

bash

within vscode. Using

fish

shell with VSCode launcher results in locating

sst.json

error Neither

fish

or

bash

help with my TS dependency issue, I cannot get a dependent file to trigger a route rebuild. As mentioned earlier if you wanna hop on a call and check it out I can just show ya quick.
