Not sure what the issue is yet. . . I’m using hapi and typescript and taking some code which runs locally via npm scripts and trying to port it over to Serverless. I suspect there are one or more silly issues here, but I don’t get much debug output.

When I run invoke locally, I get this:  
Error: Exception encountered when loading /home/matthew/repos/pin/office-365-addin-backend

Any helps is appreciated.
