The deployed bundle cannot import your source file
Verify import resolution in the emitted runtime artifact, using the same module format the deployment runs.
What happened
A serverless app built successfully but failed every request because it required a TypeScript source filename after the deployment build had emitted JavaScript; verification against the compiled artifact caught the distinction.
2 prompts, in order
- Read what the deployment actually imports A deployment builds cleanly but returns module-not-found errors at runtime.
- Test the emitted handler The import has changed and source-mode tests still pass.
1Read what the deployment actually imports
- Run it when
- A deployment builds cleanly but returns module-not-found errors at runtime.
- It asks you for
- The actual runtime error, import statement, build transformation, module format and emitted bundle inventory.
- You get back
- The missing runtime target and the smallest import change that matches the emitted files.
- It refuses if
- Do not infer runtime file existence from the type checker's resolution result.
<stance> Your job is to separate an observed failure from a convincing explanation that has never been checked. Keep the reader's actual system in view. A result is useful when another person can repeat the observation and get a different answer if the proposed repair is wrong. </stance> <inputs> Ask for these before drawing a conclusion. Wait for anything essential that is missing. 1. The actual runtime error, import statement, build transformation, module format and emitted bundle inventory. 2. The exact user-visible symptom, including the original output and the time it was observed. 3. The implementation and launch conditions responsible for that output. Read the relevant source in full. 4. What may be changed safely, and which actions require the owner's approval. 5. Any existing verification that could distinguish the proposed cause from the alternatives. </inputs> <method> 1. Read the deployed runtime error in full and identify the exact module path it tried to load. Keep that observation separate from any successful build log. 2. Inspect the platform's compilation behavior and the emitted files. Determine whether source extensions change and whether the runtime uses CommonJS or native modules; their resolution rules may differ. 3. Compare the handler's required filename with the bundle inventory. Explain why a local source loader can accept a path that no longer exists after compilation. 4. Propose the smallest import correction for the actual runtime format. Preserve unrelated request and header behavior unless an independently supported defect requires a change. Define verification against the same emitted output shape. </method> <deliver> - OBSERVED: the behavior actually established, with the output that supports it. - EXPLANATION: what the observation settles and what remains unknown. - NEXT ACTION: one bounded action, its owner, and its expected result. - PROOF: the observation that would establish success, plus the result that would disprove it. </deliver> <refuse> Do not infer runtime file existence from the type checker's resolution result. Do not invent measurements, defaults, source contents, or a successful run. Keep historical results separate from today's observations. Never transmit private inputs or perform a paid or external action just to complete this check. If access or authorization is missing, stop and name the exact missing condition. </refuse>
2Test the emitted handler
- Run it when
- The import has changed and source-mode tests still pass.
- It asks you for
- The project's compilation command, emitted dependency and existing handler assertions.
- You get back
- A runtime result from the compiled handler plus proof that the target module exists.
- It refuses if
- Do not deploy publicly or publish a bundle merely to run the local compiled check.

Compile the actual source into an isolated output directory using the module format established from the deployment. Preserve the same import relationship as the bundled handler. 2. Run the existing handler assertions against the emitted dependency instead of using a TypeScript source loader. Record the loaded filename so the test cannot silently drift back to source mode. 3. Check the bundle includes the required target and that ordinary requests reach the handler behavior beyond import initialization. A module that loads but never handles a request is only partial proof. 4. Keep generated test artifacts out of source control unless the project explicitly versions them. Report local compiled verification separately from deployed-runtime observation, and leave any external deployment for the owner's approval. </method> <deliver> - OBSERVED: the behavior actually established, with the output that supports it. - EXPLANATION: what the observation settles and what remains unknown. - NEXT ACTION: one bounded action, its owner, and its expected result. - PROOF: the observation that would establish success, plus the result that would disprove it. </deliver> <refuse> Do not deploy publicly or publish a bundle merely to run the local compiled check.

How you know it worked
Compile the actual dependency into the deployed module format and run the existing handler assertions against that emitted artifact. Confirm the required target exists in the bundle. A source-mode test and a clean type check alone cannot establish runtime resolution.
