title: AWS Lambda - Runtime.ImportModuleError: Error: Cannot find module '../package.json'
body: <p>this is my first question that i ask so if there is any more data i can provide please tellme so.</p>
  <p>Currently i am learning how to deploy services to AWS lambda using serverless. In order to bundle my lambda i am using webpack.
  Everything runs nicely when i use sls offline start.
  Webpack packages everything and uploads it to aws.
  However...
  When i try to test my lambda i get an error:
  &quot;Runtime.ImportModuleError: Error: Cannot find module '../package.json'&quot;</p>
  <p>I tryied looking for similar problems and i did find other people with similar error but it was never concerning package.json</p>
  <p>here is my serverless.yaml</p>
  <pre><code>service: products-service
  
  plugins:
    - serverless-webpack
    - serverless-offline
    - serverless-dotenv-plugin
  package:
    individualy: true

    name: aws
    runtime: nodejs12.x
    stage: ${self:custom.stageName.${env:STAGE}, self:custom.stageName.default}
    region: ${env:REGION}
    tracing:
      lambda: true
    
  environment:
    db: ${env:MONGODB_URL}
    API_URL:
      {
        'Fn::Join':
          [
            '',
            [
              ' https://',
              { 'Ref': 'ApiGatewayRestApi' },
              '.execute-api.${self:provider.region}.amazonaws.com/${self:provider.stage}',
            ],
          ],
      }
    api: ${self:provider.environment.API_URL}
    rabbit: ${env:RABBIT_URL}
  
  functions:
    products:
      handler: products.handler
      events: ${file(products.js):events}

    webpack:

      packager: 'npm'   # Packager that will be used to package your external modules
    webpackIncludeModules:
      packagePath: '../../package.json'
  </code></pre>
  <p>And here is my webpack.config</p>
  <pre><code>const slsw = require('serverless-webpack');
  module.exports = {
    target: 'node',
    entry: slsw.lib.entries,
    mode: slsw.lib.webpack.isLocal ? 'development' : 'production',
    optimization: {
      minimize: false,
    },
