Edge function not deploying in Netlify monorepo project despite working locally with `netlify dev`

Support

Problem:

Edge function is not deployed, even though it works with netlify dev. Likely because local build files created by netlify deploy end up in the wrong directory of the monorepo.

Expected:

  1. Create monorepo with Expo app as one of the packages (packages/client).
  2. Add Netlify setup, including an edge function.
  3. Test setup with netlify dev.
  4. Deploy with Netlify, and observe the edge function working. ← This step fails.

Observations:

  1. netlify dev prints “Loaded edge function hello” and the edge function works.
  2. netlify deploy prints “Packaging Edge Functions …” as expected, but these are not actually deployed, as is evident when visiting the website or looking at “Deploy summary” in Netlify dashboard.
  3. In packages/client a new directory is created by netlify deploy command which seems incorrect. This directory is called packages and at path packages/client/packages/client/.netlify there is what looks like something that should’ve been written to packages/client/.netlify.
  4. Adding base = "packages/client" to netlify.toml does not solve the problem.

Reproduce:

Clone repository https://github.com/santotan/netlifytest and follow instructions in README.md.

Would anyone be able to advise either to how to solve the issue or how to seek out help better?

I’ve created a minimal working example using Expo template project, so this should be easily reproducible.

I’ve asked the devs to take a look.
