"wrangler publish" fails, "Error: missing field `type`"

I’m very new at this and having a bad time

The wrangler.toml does not have a “type” entry so “wrangler publish” fails like this:

$ wrangler r2 bucket list
Error: missing field `type`

I tried putting type = "javascript" in the file but it did not work

$ wrangler publish
✨  Basic JavaScript project found. Skipping unnecessary build!
Error: The entrypoint of your Worker (dist/index.js) could not be found.

I tried type = "typescript" but also did not work

$ wrangler publish
Error: enum TargetType does not have variant constructor typescript

I tried some other random guesses but nothing that worked

Thank you for all your assistance on this

yes, a base/prefix thing could potentially be useful but not really a big deal

If I do it like this do I need to move all my files into a /files/ subdirectory in the bucket or something along those lines?

Yeah, you’d have to prefix all your files with files/. I could add functionality to have a base/prefix path to look for, if you like.

I’ll also close this issue since the original problem was resolved, but if you have any other questions feel free to ask them.
