document function build issues with esbuild in monorepos, with pnpm, yarn about docs

[euan-cowie]

Is there any update on this? I have tried to achieve the fix in the mentioned issue but have had no success.

{
  "name": "test",
  "dependencies": {
    "esbuild": "^0.21.4"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "eslint": "^8.48.0",
    "prettier": "^3.0.3",
    "syncpack": "^11.2.1",
    "turbo": "latest"
  },
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "build": "turbo run build",
    "dev": "turbo run dev ios "
  }
}

This is my root package.json but still I get

2024-06-06T18:15:22.720Z [INFO]: BackendSynthError: Unable to build the Amplify backend definition.

Resolution: Check your backend definition in the `amplify` folder for syntax and type errors.

I've cleaned my project multiple times and regenerated lock files etc etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey @euan-cowie what package manager are you using with turbo?

[euan-cowie]

Hey @josefaidt, sorry for the late response, was recovering from a nasty flu!

I'm using pnpm.

@euan-cowie can you try running that command with --debug? do you experience a similar issue locally or is this only failing in the automated builds?
