When gc deploy is run an unhelpful error is raised.

[MJones180]

When I run gc deploy from the CLI on my Macbook Terminal, the following error is raised:

Bundling functions... ⣾
{ file: undefined,
  start: undefined,
  length: undefined,
  messageText: 'Cannot find type definition file for \'fs-extra\'.',
  category: 1,
Bundling functions... !
 ▸    Cannot read property 'getLineAndCharacterOfPosition' of undefined

The problem is I have no clue what it is related to, any ideas?

P.S. I am not using fs-extra in any of my code, so I am not sure why it pops up with that message.

• Does this happen with every service definition? If not, please share one for which this happens, preferably in a new GitHub repo.
• What's the output of graphcool version?

Might be related to #889.

Hello, my current version is graphcool/0.7.0 (darwin-x64) node-v7.8.0. As for it occurring with every service definition, sorry for my lack of the new terminology, but what exactly do you mean?

[marktani]

The set of files that consists of graphcool.yml and all files it refers to is the service definition.

Ok, let me create another project and see if that does it too.

Ok, I have created another test project and it deployed perfectly fine. I then compared the syntax in all of the files and, to no avail, I see no noticeable differences. Also, when trying to export the problematic service as a zip, the zip is not openable.

Ok thanks! Definitely looks like a similar issue as #889.

[MJones180]

I was looking at that and the issue did seem similar. Also, not sure if it is the same or not, but I tried adding the newest fs-extra to my package.json and then tried re-deploying and it still did not work.

@marktani I wanted to let you know I solved the issue. The problem was I had another package.json in a parent folder that contained fs-extra as well. Once I removed it from the parent folder the deploy worked fine.

Thanks @phenominal ! I will enforce the fs-extra version in the package.json of the CLI so this can't happen anymore.

[marktani]

Thanks a lot for the digging @phenominal 😄

This is fixed and published at graphcool@0.8.0-alpha.8
