Build working locally but not on Netlify

I’m not sure why my site is able to build locally but will not deploy on Netlify. As far as I can tell, gatsby-plugin-manifest (and other plugins) are failing to find the file ‘/src/images/favicon.png’, but this file exists! I’m pasting the full build logs below. The site name is ‘jacobfromm’, API ID is 81354c8a-9259-4e38-aab8-ad00c01b7d57. The repository can be found at GitHub - Jacob-Fromm/portfolio: This is my personal website and portfolio..

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Your problem is duplication. Your main website is inside the build-1 folder:

While Netlify is trying to build the root directory. Change your base path to build-1 and it should be fixed.

Hi, @jacob-fromm. Plus one to what @hrishikesh already said.

$ cd portfolio/

Does the file src/images/favicon.png exist relative to this directory?

$ ls src/images/favicon.png
ls: src/images/favicon.png: No such file or directory

It says: “No such file or directory”. Pretty sure that means the file doesn’t exist there.

What about under the build-1 directory?

$ ls build-1/src/images/favicon.png
build-1/src/images/favicon.png

There it is! So, indeed, the file is missing at the location you specified according to the build logs.

Thank you so much! This was indeed the issue, and the problem’s now solved.

Thanks so much! Netlify is now deploying the site from portfolio/build-1, working perfectly.
