currently have the project setup in a monorepo, i was able to recreate it

yes im running the command in the correct dir, im running pnpm dlx sst dev in mono/apps/app

How come the sst.config.ts is not at the root? For reference, here is the monorepo structure we recommend — https://github.com/sst/sst/tree/master/examples/quickstart-standalone

I saw this issue when using pnpm dlx. It got solved when using npx

encountered this same issue but it works when using npx instead of pnpm dlx

Experiencing the same problem but on a Windows machine. Linux works fine but when we tried starting an existing project in Windows it crashed with this error after sst dev (version 2.41.2). The sst.config.ts is in the root of the repository, everything works fine on Linux.

Edit: doesn't work with npx either.
