Build error during deployment

[CharlesXstorm]

I’m having a problem deploying from my git repo. The problem occurs during the build. I’ve previously deployed several react-app repositories without no issues, but this current build gives an error. I’ve tried every solution I could find with no success.

Here is the complete error log:

@CharlesXstorm Have you tried running your npm run build locally?

[CharlesXstorm]

so, I added some configurations to my vite.config file and it did build successfully locally, though it gave some warnings about adjusting the chunk size limit. I redeployed on here, but it seems Netlify’s build sees warnings as errors and it fails immediately.

Here is the complete error log:

@CharlesXstorm

but it seems Netlify’s build sees warnings as errors and it fails immediately.

That is the case by default, but these lines in your log:

12:35:25 PM: build.command from netlify.toml                               
12:35:25 PM: ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
12:35:25 PM: ​
12:35:25 PM: $ CI= npm run build

Indicates that your netlify.toml build command is CI= npm run build, which disables that behavior.

It’s setting the CI value to false

See:

New CI=true build configuration, "Treating warnings as errors because process.env.CI = true"

Beginning on June 15, 2020 Netlify will start a gradual rollout of adding the environment variable CI to build environments, with the value of true . This environment variable, short for Continuous Integration, is commonly set in various CI environments like Travis CI and Github Actions, among many others. The ecosystem has largely agreed to use this environment setting to detect when a build is executing in a CI environment, as opposed to a local development environment. This setting allows…

The error is in the deploying stage: Netlify App

Error message:

Deploy did not succeed: Deploy directory 'client/build' does not exist

[CharlesXstorm]

‘client/build’ does not exist, isn’t that because the build actually didn’t complete? or is there something I’m missing?

[CharlesXstorm]

since CI= false in my build, what could be the problem?

[hrishikesh]

@CharlesXstorm

‘client/build’ does not exist,

vite outputs in dist by default. This can even be seen in the logs:

@CharlesXstorm

dist/index.html

[CharlesXstorm]

rightfully so.
I changed the publish directory in the netlify.toml file from “publish = build” to ''publish = /dist".
Thank you for the help.
