Packaging Service stuck at removing .webpack

Chapter Comments
1

I’ve been working by way through the tutorial and am at the point of trying to deploy the backend. When I use the srverless deploy command I get to the point where it hits the Packaging service and the message that says Serverless: Remove C:\Users\Jeff\code\notes\notes-app-api\.webpack. The powershell window is locked up after that. I’ve let it sit there a couple of hours. The .webpack directory does not get removed and nothing further happens. Any ideas on what is occuring here. I’m running under windows 10.

Hmm so it just hangs and never completes? This seems related to the serverless-webpack plugin. Which version of Node you are using?

I’m using node V10.2.1. I went ahead and fired up my ubuntu 18.04 VM and ran the backend part of the tutorial there without problem and then went back to Windows 10 to complete the front-end app without issue. So the only step I had any issues with was the serverless deploy.

I see. Thanks for reporting back.
