Backend functions can import sibling and shared files
By Steven Van ·
Base44 fixed a bug where backend functions importing sibling or shared files failed to deploy with a misleading missing-file error.
A bug in Base44's backend functions has been fixed: relative imports like ./helpers/x.js or ../../shared/x.ts used to fail silently, with the deploy failing and Base44 reporting the imported file as missing rather than pointing to the real cause. These imports now work correctly, as announced on 1 August 2026.
