SOLVED - How to get Meteor build tool to ignore a config file?

help
1

I just upgraded from Cypress 9 to 10. A part of the upgrade is changing the cypress.json to cypress.config.ts which includes importing from the cypress package. Unfortunately this throws off the Meteor build tool:

// ./cypress.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'cypress';

export default defineConfig({
  // Cypress configuration options...
})

Error:
Error: Cannot find module "/node_modules/cypress/index.js". Try installing the npm package or make sure it is not a devDependency.

I tried creating a .meteorignore file but that did not work.

# ./.meteorignore
cypress.config.js

Any other way to fix this short of adding cypress as a dependency?

Thanks!

Hi @hemalr87,
.meteorignore works the same ways as .gitignore and must live in the application’s root.

Also, which Meteor version are you using? Because this was introduced on v1.5.2.1

Yup my .meteorignore file is at the project root.

I am on Meteor version 2.7.1

EDIT- FIXED. Muscle memory - I used .js when specifying the file rather than .ts.

Thanks @hschmaiske :+1:
