Thanks for letting us know, Eve. Sorry to hear that you had a difficult experience getting function dependencies working. I work on the Realm docs team, and I would be happy to update the existing import docs if you have any other information in your notes. I’d definitely like to keep other users from experiencing this level of frustration in the future!
In particular, I’m interested in hearing more about what the “something internal” that went wrong with your tar.gz was, and why --only=prod seemed to make a difference for you.
