See original GitHub issue

This is a Bug Report

Description

For bug reports:

What went wrong? Stuck on packaging after running serverless webpack for a very long time > 10 minutes.
What did you expect should have happened? Packaged sooner than that.
What was the config you used?

// webpack.config.js

var path = require('path')
const slsw = require('serverless-webpack')
var nodeExternals = require('webpack-node-externals')

var entries = slsw.lib.entries

const models = [
  './models/charge.model.js',
  './models/metrics.model.js',
  './models/user.model.js'
]
for (let i in models) {
  entries[models[i]] = models[i]
}

module.exports = {
  entry: entries,
  target: 'node',
  // Generate sourcemaps for proper error messages
  devtool: 'eval',
  // Since 'aws-sdk' is not compatible with webpack,
  // we exclude all node dependencies
  externals: [nodeExternals()],
  // Run babel on all .js files and skip those in node_modules
  module: {
    loaders: [
      {
        test: /\.js$/,
        loader: 'babel-loader',
        include: __dirname,
        exclude: /node_modules/
      }
    ]
  },
  output: {
    libraryTarget: 'commonjs',
    path: path.join(__dirname, '.webpack'),
    filename: '[name].js'
  }
}

Looks like the right stuff is in there. I’ll try with the latest PR. I might not get to it today, but I’ll update when I find out more.

Verification is quite easy: Run serverless package and check the zip files created in .serverless if they contain the modules.

For the config … I’ll try to come up with a solution after reading the thread.
