"Did you forget to run `npx convex dev` " ? No I did not!
Hey guys,
Very unsure why this is happening. Getting the error could not find public function. I run convex dev, it runs alongisde my front end app in dev constantly, for some reason, its just not "deploying"?
Here is my output from running convex dev:
$ convex dev
✔ Provisioned a dev deployment and saved its name as CONVEX_DEPLOYMENT to .env.local

A little confused over here...
In your title for this post, you claim that you didn't forget to run
npx convex dev. Yet in the terminal output (?) that you pasted into the initial post, you're running convex dev instead of npx convex dev
To my knowledge the convex shell command should only be used through npx. It's not a standalone tool.It can run either way, not using npx generally means it was installed globally, which also means you may not be running the version you think you are. As Clever mentioned,
npx convex dev is recommended so you're using the package version of the repo you're running the command from.
