[Bug]: Script exceeds 2048 KB limit

[keiraarts]

Please confirm that you have:

• Searched existing issues to see if your issue is a duplicate. (If you’ve found a duplicate issue, feel free to add additional information in a comment on it.)
• Reproduced the issue in the latest CLI version.

In which of these areas are you experiencing a problem?

Extension

Expected behavior

From February 24th deploying a bundle of 50+ Shopify Functions scripts worked. On February 25th one small edit to localizations happened and Shopify CLI is returning the error: Script exceeds 2048 KB limit. Rolling back versions and attempting deployment also returns this error.

I would expect that either the deployment works or Shopify CLI described the problematic file.

Actual behavior

Hi @keiraarts!
I've been investigating this issue, does it still happen to you? were you able to deploy or identify which specific extension was causing the issue?

The localization strings are not considered for the script size (they have their own limits), only your JS code, so that shouldn't be what triggered the error 🤔

We are working on improving that error message to provide more actionable information.

Let me know if you can provide more details!
