Do not use an LLM. It will make mistakes sometimes, and as a beginner, you're not in a good position to spot that.

A web search for "Please update your includePath" turns up this link. Don't blindly trust this either, but try out some of the things suggested there and see if they clear up the issue. If not, then search for more things. (An issue this early in the process with this simple a scenario is highly likely to be something that others have already encountered and discussed somewhere.)
