I have built an Eleventy serverless template to render previews from Sanity. The template uses Eleventy image to process the images and to create a .cache directory.
In my Eleventy config I have configured Eleventy to copy the .cache directory into the serverless function directory. This works locall using the netlify-cli with netlify dev.
When I deploy the the site to Netlify and attempt to view a preview I get an error.
"error": "json.filter is not a function"
Looking at the function log in Netlify:
Nov 7, 02:54:10 PM: d70f409f ERROR [11ty] Problem writing Eleventy templates: (more in DEBUG output)

It seems that the .cache directory is not written into the function for some reason. Any help gratefully received.
