Thank you!
I would split out the things Convex needs in constants.ts into a separate file that doesn't import lingui. This separate file can still be shared between your frontend and convex code.
@erquhart so it is caused by importing things inside the constants.ts so the convex engine is also watching the constant.ts file outside of convex ?
Thanks for the answer, it works perfectly!
It isn’t specific to Convex, it’s a js bundling thing. Things that convex can’t run get pulled into the bundle because they’re imported by a file in your convex directory.
