This is what i get if i run local dev, cloud is fine.
I had gotten rid of my CONVEX_TMPDIR setting temporarily (its been on there so long i forgot why i had it)
I'm not sure its related as i was having issues with switching between various local backends from different repos.
I dont know if i had CONVEX_TMPDIR locally set somewhere.
It shows
I've tried new projects
Added it to .env.local
I deleted temp
i deleted ./convex
Reconfigured countless times.
nvm use 18
etc etc

Hi @everyone with everything going on today I forgot to post on discord about our EU launch! We have a region in Dublin now! You can start using it immediately, even for folks on the free plan. https://news.convex.dev/we-finally-got-our-eu-visa/ Stay tuned for more regions but also stay tuned for more infra improvements where we improve latency for teams no matter where their servers are located. Just at the tip of the iceberg re all the optimizations we have lined up.
