  Good morning!

  
  
  

  For context, what's a scrapper folder?

  good morning, here it's already afternoon:)

  
  

  please see the 'scrappers' directory above, there in this directory i have a scrapper.mjs file which inits the payload module.

  Interesting, so looks like the relative path to your config isn't working? Can you show the exact error?

  
  
  

  If you temporarily paste the config into the

  scrapers

  directory and adjust the path, does it work as expected?

  also tried with absolute path without success. i am getting the following errors:

  copy the payload.config.js from dist to scrappers folder:

  Do you have a collection with a slug 'facets'? Where are you referencing that from? A relationship maybe?

  
  
  

  It also looks like a

  find

  operation is being attempted. Do you have anything in an

  onInit

  ?

  great questions, investigating around the facets collection it seems like the afterRead hook imports payload, and shows the error. removing the hook solves the problem.

  
  
  
  

  here is the facets collection, do i do something wrong?

  
  
  
  

  import { Block , FieldHook} from 'payload/types';
  import payload from 'payload';
  
  const getFacets: FieldHook = async () => {
    const facets = await payload.find({
      collection: 'facets',
    });
    
    
    if (facets.docs) {
      const ids = facets.docs.map(obj => obj.values.map(val => val.id)).flat();
      return ids
      
    } 
    
    return null;
  };
  
  
  export const FilterFacetsBlock: Block = {
    slug: 'FilterFacets',
    fields: [
      {
        name: 'Facets',      
        type: 'relationship',
        relationTo: 'facets',
        hasMany: true,
        // hooks: {  
        //   afterRead: [getFacets], 
        // },
      },
  
      {
        name: 'ContainsAny',
        type: 'checkbox',
      },
      
    ]
  };

  Within the field hook, you should use

  req.payload

  .

  
  
  

  Give this a shot and see if that makes a difference

  
  
  

  const getFacets: FieldHook = async ({ req }) => {
    const facets = await req.payload.find({
      collection: 'facets',
    });

  
  
  

  Because you were importing payload

  inside a hook inside the config

  - it likely was interfering with the initialization of payload itself
