This site is a fork of https://velero.netlify.com/ so whatever settings they have there should make it work here too but I don’t know what the settings are.

In addition, I got the site working on vercel without any fuss.
Only set site/ as root dir and HUGO_VERSION env.

Upon further digging
velero/netlify.toml at main · vmware-tanzu/velero (github.com)
was causing me issues.

[build]
  base = "site/"
  command = "hugo --gc --minify"
  publish = "site/public"

This is my modified netlify.toml which worked.

[build]
  base = "site/"
  command = "hugo -v --gc --minify"
  publish = "public"

Somewhere in netlify code publish path is appended onto base path which break prior publish = "site/public" which already contained “site/”

The Web UI also enforce site/ prefix to the publish textbox.

So summary is:

  • netlify updated behavior of base and publish text field in netlify.toml
  • netlify.toml needed to be updated to accommodate (perhaps velero upstream had grandfathered in value prior to the change and was not affected)
  • netlify deploy configuration UI was working actively against resolving buggy path appending… resulting in site/site/public

Solution (without netlify’s bugfix):
Build setting

netlify.toml

[build]
  base = "site/"
  command = "hugo --gc --minify"
  publish = "public"

[context.production.environment]
  HUGO_VERSION = "0.73.0"

[context.deploy-preview.environment]
  HUGO_VERSION = "0.73.0"

Deploy before that failed commit vmain@13019b9
Deploy after that succeeded vmain@09f7744
git commit that resolve the issue vmain@09f7744

This value in netlify.toml cannot be set in netlify UI which is a bug.

3

Before my netlify.toml fix PR to velero is reviewed, it would be great to hear from netlify staff to confirm whether or not publish field automatically prefixed with base directory automatically in the backend AND the web UI also doing it causing the base directory to appear twice in the publish path as site/site/public causing directory did not exist is a valid netlify bug that needs addressing from netlify and that the PR is not worsening the problem after netlify is fixed…

4

When you set the base path, everything becomes relative to that. So if base path is /site and you set the publish path as /site/public, your publish path would now be /site/site/public.

5

Then your web UI is broken as it’s enforcing basepath be applied to publish path and so net net it’s doing it twice if you don’t have a dedicated toml file.

6

Okay, thank you for the feedback. We’ll let the devs know.

@hrishikesh it looks like velero has baseRelDir: false [2] while mine has baseRelDir: true [1] which is causing incompatibilities between the two sites netlify config.

How to I change this value?
[1] Netlify App
[2] Netlify App
