How are you adding the config folder to the container and how are you running the npm process?

#

I'm not, I've installed config as a dependency inside the dagger project and am importing it directly in the dagger module.

I don't think I follow. Trying to understand the difference between "dagger project" and "dagger module". Could you post your code?

@obtuse portal here's an example project.

Essentially I've created a boilerplate Dagger project with dagger init --sdk=typescript.

I've then installed the config npm module with yarn add --save config.

I'm then importing that module and making use of it in in the Dagger project in index.ts.
https://github.com/jshbrntt/dagger-example/blob/main/src/index.ts#L18-L26

When the config module tries to load the files in the ./config/ directory, it fails and you get the following error message.

I wonder if it's a naming conflict based on the following. @brazen zinc thoughts?

┃ default value 'config.get("greeting")' at /src/src/index.ts:25:36 cannot be resolved, dagger does not support object or function as default value.

#

Hmmm are you exposing the type of that package in your module?

#

Oh yeah, as a default value

#

If you have a prototype like foo(a: string = config.get("greeting"), it cannot work as it's explained in the error message.

 dagger does not support object or function as default value.
