I resolved it by removing the plugin
serverless-plugin-typescript
from the serverless.yml file.

I have this same issue, with layers, and if I remove the layers all is fine but with layers, it fails with the same error. It appears to be a long-running issue with little solution. Too many of the layers tutorials focus on deploying new layers with the serverless file and not on existing layers which is what I need

[rob-bar]

How can a plugin block this layers behaviour? Must be an issue with the plugin then?
When I remove the plugin it works fine.
