Error: The deployment failed: Relative import path "$fresh/server.ts" not prefixed with / or ./ or ../

^{Originally posted by **ooker777** January 13, 2024}
When deploying I get this error:
```
Deploying... (100.0%)
Error: The deployment failed: Relative import path "$fresh/server.ts" not prefixed with / or ./ or ../
```
[A person who had the same error on their machine](https://stackoverflow.com/a/74748824/3416774) solves this by adding this to the import map:
```
"deno.importMap": "./import_map.json"
```
This doesn't work on my case. In my understanding this shouldn't be an issue at all. Do you know why is that?
