Description

I'm trying to "bundle" a little sqlite db with my app, but it fails in the build step with the Workflow SDK.

const SQLITE_URL = new URL("db.sqlite", import.meta.url);

// at runtime use it...

Nextjs turbopack seems to be OK with it. I see .next/server/assets/db.e8730435.sqlite on disk when I disable the workflow sdk.
