Hi @tepid widget. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

#

The knowledge sources do not contain specific information about this exact error. However, based on the error message itself, the issue is clear:

Convex only accepts JavaScript (.js) files as modules in your convex/ folder. It does not support .css files (or other non-JS extensions) as Convex modules.

The error:

InvalidConfig: episode/actions.css is not a valid path to a Convex module. Module path (episode/actions.css) has an extension that isn't 'js'

means that Convex is picking up a .css file (episode/actions.css) inside your convex/ directory and trying to treat it as a module, which it cannot.

How to fix it:

  • Remove any .css files from your convex/ folder. CSS files do not belong there — Convex functions should only be .ts or .js files.
  • If you need styles, keep them in your frontend application directory (e.g., src/, app/, etc.), not inside the convex/ folder.

If you believe no .css file should be there, double-check your convex/ directory for any accidentally placed or generated CSS files and delete them, then retry npx convex dev.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:

The knowledge sources don't contain specific information about this exact error scenario. However, based on the error message and the context of how Convex works, here are some things to investigate:

  1. Check your convex/ folder carefully — Even if you don't recall adding a .css file, one may have been accidentally created or copied there. Run:

    ls convex/episode/

    or check in your file explorer for any actions.css file.

  2. Check your bundler/build output — If you have a build step that outputs files into your convex/ directory, it may be generating a .css file there unintentionally.

  3. Check your convex.json configuration — The functions field in convex.json can redirect where Convex looks for functions. [Project Configuration] If it's pointing to a directory that contains CSS files (e.g., a src/ folder shared with your frontend), that could cause this issue.

    {
  "functions": "src/convex/"
}

    Make sure the path points only to a directory containing Convex function files.

  4. Check your .gitignore or hidden files — Sometimes files exist on disk but aren't visible in your editor.

Could you share your project structure and convex.json (if you have one)? That would help narrow down why Convex is picking up a .css file.
