However, as you can see there's nothing in node_modules when I install it. Previously, it had src too but still a missing dist. Once I added /dist to files: it results in even less being published. What am I doing wrong?

building does produce the files:

#

the library is on npm if you want to install it and see what I mean

#

try dist or /dist/*

#

ah i hadn't checked the zod example

#

well, is dist in project root?

wind siren
#

Yes it is

wind siren
#

dist without the slash actually publishes src

versed stratus
#

are you sure dist is in project root and not in src

#

/dist means dist in project root
dist means dist anywhere
so src/dist would work with the latter but not the former

wind siren
#

It's in the root next to node modules

wind siren
versed stratus
#

do you have a dist somewhere in src?

#

also maybe check the folder name and the one specified in files to make sure you don't have any invisible chars or trailing spaces or something

wind siren
#

No, I don't. Here is what I've tried so far:

files: ['/dist'] -> nothing published
files: ['dist'] -> only src published

#

yeah I suppose thats worth checking too

versed stratus
#

with dist is the entire src published?

#

hmm actually im not seeing anything

#

i installed v0.0.2, it has dist in the package.json, but im getting just the 3 files

#

and with v0.0.1 and * in files im getting everything
