dependency issue using localAPI in a sveltekit application about payload

[JarrodMFlesch]

@Snailedlt my gut tells me that this is a limitation from Vercel. If you check out their docs related to root directory, they say that you cannot access files outside the root of your app.

It looks like you are trying to go up and out of your web app root dir and into another folder within your mono repo in this file.

Could you try copying the payload config into your web app directory and adjust your imports to go to that config file to test this theory?

@JarrodMFlesch Thanks for the response :)

they say that you cannot access files outside the root of your app.

Looks like it should have access to the files outside of the root:

I actually got an error about the file path to the config being wrong. After correcting it, it worked even though the file path is outside of the root of the app.

Could you try copying the payload config into your web app directory and adjust your imports to go to that config file to test this theory?

This is what I've done in the other repo I linked to at the bottom of the "To reproduce" section:

If you want to test the simplified non-turborepo version:

Follow all the steps from the turborepo version
fork my repo: https://github.com/Snailedlt/sveltekit-payload-frontend
If you wanna test it locally it's just cp .env.example .env, pnpm i and pnpm dev
deploy it to vercel using the default SvelteKit (v1) settings. Use the same DATABASE_URI as in the turborepo example
Go to the deployed website and notice that you get a 500 error here too. If you go to logs in vercel should see the same errors as shown in this issue.

@AlessioGr let me know if you need anything, whether it be clarification or help testing.
