Thanks for raising this @jayhyp!

@ahaywood I'll assign to you as I believe serverless is a deprecated deployment provider, and unsure where this stands in priority.

@jayhyp Can you confirm that you have files in api/src/services and/or api/src/functions? I.e. have you created any API endpoints or functions yet? If not, that would be the reason you're seeing the error -> no files exist to pack.

This happens to us as well after an rw upgrade to 7.5. Working perfectly fine on 6.x. No other code changes apart from the upgrade, also using the serverless deployment method. Have reverted to 6.x again for now - but will investigate further once time allows.

As a sidenote - this worked fine on ~7.2 (but then hit the Auth issue that was resolved).

@jwwisgerhof Thanks for the additional information.
Just to confirm – you're saying something changed between 7.2 and 7.5 that broke Serverless?

@Tobbe Yes, just checked and last I tried to upgrade to RW was 7.2.0-rc.53. The deployment worked correctly but we ran into the Authorization header issue, forcing a downgrade to 6.x.

HI @jwwisgerhof re "the Authorization header issue" is that the lower vs uppercase issue to recognizing "Authorization"?

That was fixed in https://github.com/redwoodjs/redwood/releases/tag/v7.3.2

Hi @dthyresson - yes, that is the one. I am aware it was fixed, which is why I tried the upgrade to RW 7 again. It is relevant to this ticket only in that it narrows the window in which this bug was introduced to somewhere between RW7.2.0-rc.53 and current version.

Packaging of functions worked in 7.2.0-rc.53 but does not in 7.5.x (same codebase).

Thanks for the extra detail @jwwisgerhof -- do you think I can reproduce this with any small new RW project and the arn rw deploy serverless --stage prod --side api command ?

Looking at the code

    {
      title: 'Packing Functions...',
      enabled: () => sides.includes('api'),
      task: async () => {
        // Dynamically import this function
        // because its dependencies are only installed when `rw setup deploy serverless` is run
        const { nftPack } = await import('./packing/nft.js')

        await nftPack()
      },
    },

Maybe rw setup deploy serverless needs to be re-run in 7+?

Could we see if the following packages have been installed in your project?

Seems like it cannot find packing/nft.js to import.

Thanks @dthyresson - can confirm that @vercel/nft is in the lock file and the file system. Easier way to reproduce is by using the --pack-only arg. IE: yarn rw deploy sls --stage production --side api --pack-only.

Let me have a look later today to see if I can find out more information now that I know where to look.
