For anyone who has been using sst with typescript and yarn workspaces, have you ever seen the issue where your lambda code doesn't seem to be transpiling correctly? i.e. when I try to hit my endpoint it gives me the error in local terminal

SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export'

which leads me to believe my code is being interpreted as typescript instead of javascript when it is uploaded to AWS. I am largely following the setup described in this repo but attempting to have separate workspaces for each service/core lib. I might just be overcomplicating this and should be resorting back to just having the whole backend folder as a workspace, but if I can get it working that would be cool. My current tsconfig for the services is in screenshot #1. And my base tsconfig file is in screenshot #2. Any thoughts/resources on this would be helpful. Been trawling through the ts handbook, but no luck so far 😅

I am facing with same issue. When I referred to the

learna-yarn-starter

code for serverless and SST I see difference in example. For

serverless

, in the following example. The

import/export

works perfectly. Sample

workspace

package is getting transpiled properly

export default function sample() {
  return "sample package";
}

While for

SST

, the example uses

module.exports

if I change it to

export

default

*function* sample()

, SST will throw error

SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export'

module.exports = function sample() {
  return "sample package";
}

Question is: 1. What is so special about

serverless

framework which makes it to

transpile

the imported

workspace

package. 2. Can we do the same with SST, so that it transpiles the imported

workspace

package?
