Build fails after loading external data and saving it to JSON

[themre]

Hi,
I’m trying to help local school build their site and they have some data stored in Google Blogger. So I want to scrape that data and store it locally to generate those pages. But when I want to access that JSON file, it fails because it doesn’t find that file. Is there maybe some different path?

Netlify App

To store the data i use fs.writeFileSync(./data/all.json, JSON.stringify(all));. And to access it then in getStaticProps I use const filePath = path.join(process.cwd(), data/all.json);. Locally it works, but on Netlify fails due to Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open './data/all.json'. Any help would be really appreciated! Thanks!

I think you should use this:

@themre

path.join(process.cwd(), data/all.json)

to write the file as well. For example:

fs.writeFileSync(path.join(process.cwd(), ./data/all.json), JSON.strigify(all))

Yes, thanks @hrishikesh , that was it. I had to also put a check for directory and create one since it’s not copied from the repo. Thanks for your quick response!
