Hello, I am having trouble deploying one of my sites and I cannot understand what is wrong from the logs. All I see is this hint: “Build script returned non-zero exit code: 3” Anyone knows how to debug this issue? ---

Hey all wave, while building, I get non-zero exit code 1 while webpack is processing some lodash modules from node\_modules. Weird because I have a project using an identical webpack/babel config that builds without issues on Netlify.

Some background There are a fair number of reasons that a build could fail in Netlify’s CI environment, even if building works locally. Testing locally is always the place to start, and the thing we will recommend to you … Go ahead and work through those, and let us know if the error persists - we’ll be happy to help if you tell us what you tried 👍 ---

Hi, I saw these posts but none of them were refering to exit code 3. I ended up deleting the site and setting it up again from scratch and the problem went away. Cheers, Yonatan
