Running serve command wipes out function code

[alexmacarthur]

Hopefully I'm not missing a configuration option or something...

When I run the serve command, the code in my /functions/whatever.js appears to be processed by Webpack, wiping out the precompiled code I had written. As a makeshift solution, I've wrapped been first copying the precompiled file to a different directory to preserve it, but would not like to keep that up long term.

Do you have an example repo or gist to clarify the issue? Not quite catching the full issue here.

Actually, it looks like I just didn't read the documentation fully. It says here to, at build time, put them into the functions directory because everything in there is what gets run through Webpack.

I was having the same issue described here:

Closing because of this misunderstanding -- thx!

Cool, glad it worked out. And you are on gitter! 🙌
