Can't Deploy Due to Missing SCSS File - SOLVED

Been about a week of deployment failure, so am reaching out for help.

Seems I keep getting an error message about a missing scss file:
src/assets/sass/main.scss: no such file or directory

But its defnitely there. And it works fine on my local setup.
And the sass files have been in the same place since the previous successful deployment.

One thing I can think of that might be affecting it is a re-jigged sass process.
I’m using a file in config/sass-process.js to watch my sass files.
And it gave me ‘similar-ish’ grief on my local setup, although its working now.

The idea for that setup comes from here, and I’ve posted in the comments section about my problem.

(the original post is: Processing sass with 11ty - DEV Community 👩‍💻👨‍💻)

So that’s the issue, and below is my latest deploy logfile.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Ok, I think I’m onto something here, since I’ve managed to get the site working again.

My live sass watcher probably shouldn’t be working on Netlify, which only serves static files.

So I added an environmental variable to toggle that sass watcher so that its only working during development, ie. if (dev) then { run sass watcher }

All seems to be good again :slight_smile:

Thanks to those who did take the time to have a look at this…I realize there’s a ton of other issues in the queue, and not all get solved by support, but appreciate your time anyway!

Hi, @koitaki, thank you for taking the time to share the solution you found. This will hopefully provide a solution for someone in the future with a similar issue.

I want you to know we appreciate your extra effort to share what you discovered. Thanks again for the follow-up! :+1:
