Functions not showing up on Functions Explorer on Convex Dashboard and causing crashes
Hi! There are some functions that I have added to the convex folder, and they do seem to work (being able to write to the db), but I cannot see them on Functions Explorer tab on the Convex Dashboard. Should I be worried about this? Are the functions being recognized? Sometimes the functions that do not show up do fail, and this leads to a crash

Can you share the source for a function that is not showing up in the dashboard, but is still deploying and running? Also can you double check that you're looking at the dashboard for the correct deployment - if you're running
npx convex dev and the command is successfully deploying and not erroring, you should see your functions under the development deployment in the dashboard. Also curious if you're using local development or cloud.Hi! I have figured out the problem. Since I have two projects that are sharing the same db, sometimes some functions are not properly saved to the db, leading to situations where some functions are not recognized by Convex
The solution was to just ensure both repos have the exact same .ts files and schema file, so that all functions are recognized by Convex
It would be great to know if this was the optimal solution, or if there could be some better way to resolve this. Thank you!
We don't recommend using multiple convex directories, because keeping them in sync is difficult. Instead check out https://docs.convex.dev/production/multiple-repos
Multiple Repositories | Convex Developer Hub
Use Convex in multiple repositories
Thanks a lot!
I'll adopt this approach from now on. Keeping them in sync is indeed a hassle 😅
