Eleventy programmatic API - what should the input path look like?

I have a aws lambda function which calls the eleventy.write() or eleventy.toJSON() method but can't seem to make it work. I have tried different project structures and setting different paths but it either returns an empty array or it throws the following error TemplateLayoutPathResolver directory does not exist for filename.njk: _includes When I run the eleventy command from terminal, it builds successfully. This is my 11ty project structure

project root folder
-- public (output of the eleventy build)
-- .eleventy.js
-- src (input for the eleventy build)
  |-- _data
  |-- _includes

my .eleventy.js file looks like this:

...
 return {
        dir:{
            input: 'src',
            output: 'public',
        },
    };

On the lambda function project, where the write() call is made, I have tried setting the input path relative to the file, then I tried putting the 11ty root folder next to the .js file and instantiating eleventy like let eleventy = new Eleventy(".", "public") which didn't worked and I also tried taking the content of the eleventy root project and placing it next to the .js file I am making the write() call.

Also tried setting the configPath like so

let eleventy = new Eleventy(".", "public", {
    configPath: "./.eleventy.js",
  });

but still not working.

The documentation for the eleventy programmatic API (https://www.11ty.dev/docs/programmatic/) is pretty thin, so any help will be greatly appreciated.

Looking at your list of files above, in src, I see includes, not _includes. Did you forget the underscore?

Just set your input folder to "src"

let eleventy = new Eleventy("src", "public");
