I think I've seen something similar before, Could you describe your project's file structure? Specifically, the layout of all your files, where your package,json is, and which folder you run wrangler dev in

It looks like you may have added a Unicode xFF right before the export default which is shown by the question marks symbols.

Facing the same issue

I've faced the same issue, but the reason was quite simple. ✅ I just had to cd to the directory with cloudflare app, and everything worked fine

[penalosa]

Usually this message surfaces when Wrangler can't detect the entry-point for your Worker, which should be specified either on the command line when running Wrangler:

wrangler dev index.ts

or in Wrangler's config file:

# wrangler.toml
main = "index.ts"

If you've specified either of those options and Wrangler still surfaces the message about a missing entrypoint, please open a new issue with a minimal reproduction and we can investigate further.

[ernests]

Had the same problem. Ended up creating worker in Cloudflare dashboard and then initialising locally.

1. npm install -g wrangler

2. wrangler login

3. wrangler init --from-dash your-random-worker-name

This creates all local dependencies and setup.

Then cd into your project dir (your-random-worker-name) and run npm run start

Profit!

It's helpful.👍

[Arunshaik2001]

I got the same error i fixed it by adding the below line in wrangler.toml file

main = "./src/index.ts"

as my index.ts file was inside src folder.

[BChip]

Facing the same issue!

I have Next Js, file structure generated by this command

npm create cloudflare@latest my-next-app -- --framework=next

Here is file structure and Error

Facing similar issue.

I ran: npm create hono@latest

and used the x-basic template.

Then ran npx wrangler d1 create my-db

Now I am trying to execute wrangler dev

and I get:

~/my-app/app$ wrangler dev

@BChip - this is the correct method to replicate the issue.
