`serverless package/deploy` throws "Path must be a string. Received undefined"

[venkatramachandran]

Here is a reproducible test case. To reproduce the error:

1. Run git clone https://github.com/venkatramachandran/ts-sample
2. Run cd ts-sample
3. Run npm run make
4. Run npm run pack

I get the following error stack at the last step:

Serverless: Packaging service...

  Type Error ---------------------------------------------

  Path must be a string. Received undefined

     For debugging logs, run again after setting the "SLS_DEBUG=*" environment variable.

Did you ever find a resolution for this?

I don't know what the problem is, but adding

package:
  individually: true

to serverless.yml helps.

For debugging purposes, here are files that create a problem. serverless.yml

service: test

plugins:
  - serverless-plugin-typescript
  - serverless-webpack
  - serverless-aws-documentation
  - serverless-offline

provider:
  name: aws
  stage: dev
  runtime: nodejs8.10

    events:

          method: get

custom:
  webpack:
    webpackConfig: '../../../webpack.config.js'

webpack.config.js

// webpack.config.js
const slsw = require('serverless-webpack');

console.log(slsw.lib.entries);

module.exports = {
  entry: slsw.lib.entries,
  target: 'node',
  devtool: 'source-map',
  mode: process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development'
};

My code is organized in monorepository using yarn workspaces based on this.
