Description

As soon as I use Js.import() I get this error:

Missing dependency X in search path.

where X is Js.import(X.make) (following the lazy component docs).

Full minimal repro here: https://github.com/benadamstyles/rescript-js-import-repro.

Short forum discussion here.

Research direction

Start with the minimal reproduction at rescript-js-import-repro and the Js.import(X.make) entry point described in the issue. Compare the lazy component documentation with the compiler's dynamic-import handling and search-path diagnostics. Done means the reproduction no longer reports a missing dependency when using Js.import(X.make).
