what was the issue here @alexiej ?

[gokaykucuk]

same here, but no idea what's the solution

In my case, the problem was with Webpack. It needed the following additional configuration. Hope this helps

const nodeExternals = require('webpack-node-externals')
...
module.exports = {
...
  externals: [nodeExternals()],
...
}

Hi,

I have the same issue and I am not using Webpack but Serveless bundles. Is there another way to fix it, like downgrading the version of x-ray?

regards
