Running debug saying directory does not exist for file

Describe the bug

I am trying to start the process of speeding up my build time so want to run debug. In my package.json I have

 "scripts": {
    "eleventy": "npx @11ty/eleventy --serve --config=eleventy.cjs",
    "tailwind": "npx tailwindcss -i src/static/css/tailwind.css -o _site/static/css/style.css --watch",
    "debug": "DEBUG=Eleventy:Benchmark* npx @11ty/eleventy",
    "css": "postcss src/static/css/tailwind.css --o _site/static/css/style.css --watch",
    "start": "eleventy --config=eleventy.cjs --serve & npx tailwindcss -i src/static/css/tailwind.css -c tailwind.config.js -o _site/static/css/style.css --watch",
    "build": "ELEVENTY_PRODUCTION=true eleventy --config=eleventy.cjs && NODE_ENV=production npx tailwindcss -i src/static/css/tailwind.css -c tailwind.config.js -o _site/static/css/style.css --minify",
    "prettier": "npx prettier --write **/*.html",
    "api": "json-server --host 0.0.0.0 --port 6060 --watch json-server/db.json --routes json-server/routes.json"
  },

When I run that I get the following error:

[11ty] Problem writing Eleventy templates: [11ty] TemplateLayoutPathResolver directory does not exist for base.njk: _includes (via Error) Eleventy:Benchmark Benchmark 41ms 23% 1× (Aggregate) Searching the file system (templates) +0ms Eleventy:Benchmark Benchmark 6ms 3% 1× (Aggregate) Searching the file system (data) +0ms Eleventy:Benchmark Benchmark 0ms 0% 470× (Aggregate) Template Read +0ms

In my eleventy.cjs file I have:

  return {
    dir: {
      input: "src",
      includes: '_includes'
    },
    htmlTemplateEngine: "njk",
  };

Here is a screenshot of my directory structure (eleventy.cjs and package.json are in the root directory with src):

Thanks!

eleventy.cjs is not a default config file name so I’m guessing you need this

     "eleventy": "npx @11ty/eleventy --serve --config=eleventy.cjs",
-    "debug": "DEBUG=Eleventy:Benchmark* npx @11ty/eleventy",
+    "debug": "DEBUG=Eleventy:Benchmark* npx @11ty/eleventy --config=eleventy.cjs",
