Type instantiation is excessively deep and possibly infinite.

Hi, I'm running into this error when trying to restructure my functions. It occurs when a folder has the same name as a file in the directory below. For example, this structure will cause the error:

convex
├── projects
│   └── activities.ts
└── projects.ts

convex
├── projects
│   └── activities.ts
└── projects.ts

I like this structure as I can put basic functions in the main file:

useQuery(api.projects.get)

useQuery(api.projects.get)

and have more advanced functions separated:

useQuery(api.projects.activities.get)

useQuery(api.projects.activities.get)

There are no errors in the api.d.ts file and I'm running convex 1.7.1

Example api.d.ts file:

/* eslint-disable */
/**
 * Generated `api` utility.
 *
 * THIS CODE IS AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED.
 *
 * Generated by convex@1.7.1.
 * To regenerate, run `npx convex dev`.
 * @module
 */

import type {
  ApiFromModules,
  FilterApi,
  FunctionReference,
} from "convex/server";
import type * as projects_activities from "../projects/activities.js";
import type * as projects from "../projects.js";

/**
 * A utility for referencing Convex functions in your app's API.
 */
declare const fullApi: ApiFromModules<{
  "projects/activities": typeof projects_activities;
  projects: typeof projects;
}>;
export declare const api: FilterApi<
  typeof fullApi,
  FunctionReference<any, "public">
>;
export declare const internal: FilterApi<
  typeof fullApi,
  FunctionReference<any, "internal">
>;

/* eslint-disable */
/**
 * Generated `api` utility.
 *
 * THIS CODE IS AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED.
 *
 * Generated by convex@1.7.1.
 * To regenerate, run `npx convex dev`.
 * @module

import type {
  ApiFromModules,
  FilterApi,
  FunctionReference,
} from "convex/server";
import type * as projects_activities from "../projects/activities.js";
import type * as projects from "../projects.js";

/**

 */
declare const fullApi: ApiFromModules<{
  "projects/activities": typeof projects_activities;
  projects: typeof projects;
}>;
export declare const api: FilterApi<
  typeof fullApi,
  FunctionReference<any, "public">
>;
export declare const internal: FilterApi<
  typeof fullApi,
  FunctionReference<any, "internal">
>;

Hey @billysyrett, yeah I think we don't support this structure. You can instead put export default const query(.... into projects/get.ts

Thanks - that'll work!
