Cryptic error missing package name for universe.ts

[ebalo55]

As stated in the title a cryptic error arises when running encore run (W11 and Debian WSL tested).

The following is the output from the command line.

$ encore run
  ⠋ Building Encore application graph...
  ⠋ Analyzing service topology...
error: missing package name for universe.ts
  --> C:\Users\ebalo\Desktop\Projects\rust\KageShirei\server\ks-server\src\utility\log.ts:46:18

46 |     async (data: Omit<LogContext, "level">) => {
   |                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

the code snippet where the error resides is the following one:

import { db, JsonValue, LogLevel } from "@/database";
import { api } from "encore.dev/api";

export type JsonObject = {
    [key: string]: JsonValue
}
export type JsonArray = Array<JsonValue>
export type JsonPrimitive = string | number | boolean | null
export type JsonValue = JsonPrimitive | JsonObject | JsonArray

export interface LogContext {
    /**
     * The log level.
     */
    level: LogLevel;
    /**
     * The title of the log.
     */
    title: string;
    /**
     * The message of the log.
     */
    message?: string;
    /**
     * Any extra data to include in the log.
     */
    extra?: JsonValue;
}

/**
 * Log a message to the database.
 * @param ctx The context for the log.
 */
export const log = api(
    {},
    async (ctx: LogContext) => {
        if (ctx.extra) {
            // do things
        }

        await db.exec`insert into logs(log_level, title, message)
                      values (${ ctx.level }, ${ ctx.title }, ${ ctx.message || null })`;
    },
);

/**
 * Log a trace message.
 */
export const trace = api(
    {},
    async (data: Omit<LogContext, "level">) => {
        //       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ HERE IS THE ERROR
        await log({level: LogLevel.trace, ...data});
    },
);

/**
 * Log a debug message.
 */
export const debug = api(
    {},
    async (data: Omit<LogContext, "level">) => {
        //       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ HERE IS THE ERROR TOO
        await log({level: LogLevel.debug, ...data});
    },
);

// ...other implementations

The error seems to go away pretending the log function with the following type alias and referencing it into the method signatures

// ...prior code

type OmittedLogContext = Omit<LogContext, "level">;
// ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS IS THE FIX (PART 1)

export const log = api(
    {},
    // ...
)

// ...

export const trace = api(
    {},
    async (data: OmittedLogContext) => {
        //       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS IS THE FIX (PART 2)
        await log({level: LogLevel.trace, ...data});
    },
);

// ...other implementations

Notice that no universe.ts exists in NPM nor as a Rust dependency. The only universe.ts I found is located here <current-repo-root>/tsparser/src/parser/universe.ts
