Hello,

I’m using serverless framework for the first time;  
I have a nice bootstrap function using graphql but on deploy some packages are missing [like graphql or graphql-yoga for example]

There are all on dependencies and not dev and I’m a little confuse about that ☹  
I’m using serverless-webpack with the custom configuration but I have an error: Invalid configuration object. Webpack has been initialised using a configuration object that does not match the API schema.

Package.json:  
“dependencies”: {  
“graphql”: “^0.13.2”,  
“graphql-config”: “^2.0.1”,  
“graphql-import”: “^0.6.0”,  
“graphql-playground-middleware-lambda”: “^1.7.1”,  
“graphql-tag”: “^2.9.2”,  
“graphql-tools”: “^3.0.4”,  
“graphql-yoga”: “^1.14.10”,  
“prisma-binding”: “^2.1.0”  
}

Logs:  
{  
“errorMessage”: “Cannot find module ‘prisma-binding’”,  
“errorType”: “Error”,  
“stackTrace”: [  
…  
]  
}

Thank youuu 🙂

By default webpack will use tree shaking to remove dead code. Unfortunately it can get this wrong sometimes. I’ve had success using the [webpack-node-externals](https://www.npmjs.com/package/webpack-node-externals) plugin to make sure it packages all of your dependencies externally.

Thanks for the reply, actually I removed and re-create my app and all package are loaded… weird but it works now
