no types generated?
I am trying to follow the simple quickstart (expo) for convex, and I am having issues with seemingly no types being generated for tasks. Everything else seems to be working fine, I see the tasks in my frontend. Anyone know what I am doing wrong here?

1. check if is running.
this is watching the convex folder and generates the types
2. check where this si running for typescript errors. ts is checked before build and abd ts will block the watch build so you get no types
basicall you should always have a terminal with npx convex dev running without errors
also, I assumed you imported api from the proper place
I have had some issues with my typescript server today, so maybe something there then..
I've run convex dev many a times today. Import seems to be correct too, at least my lsp is happy
import { api } from "@/convex/_generated/api";
This seems correct though, no?
