#Troubleshooting

#"not in project folder or bfast.json is missing"

Cause:

• You are not in a workspace generated by bfast fs create.

Fix:

• cd into a valid workspace.
• Ensure bfast.json exists.

#"functions folder not found in current project"

Cause:

• Workspace is incomplete or modified.

Fix:

• Ensure <workspace>/functions exists.
• Recreate workspace with bfast fs create <name> if needed.

#"bfast.json is invalid JSON"

Cause:

• Invalid JSON syntax in bfast.json.

Fix:

• Correct JSON formatting.
• Compare with template created by bfast fs create.

#Serve starts but routes are missing

Checks:

• Verify functions are exported correctly from files in functions/.
• Check ignore patterns in bfast.json.
• Run static mode to isolate watcher issues:

bfast fs serve --static --port 3000
