Deploy fails with "netlify build" command

Hi,

Whenever I try to deploy my website on Netlify using the netlify build command, the build keeps failing:

7:38:08 PM: $ CI= npm run build
7:38:08 PM: > www@1.0.0 build
7:38:08 PM: > netlify build
7:38:10 PM:  ›   Error: Could not find the site ID. If your site is not on Netlify, please run `netlify init` or `netlify deploy` first. If it is, please run `netlify link`.

Gr,

Andy

Run:

netlify build --offline

OR

netlify link

to link the site first, and then run netlify build.

@hrishikesh even when deploying on Netlify? the --offline parameter times out, and the link doesn’t work.

Hi @andylemaire,

Sorry to see you’re still running into an issue.

Could you clarify what happens when you try netlify link?

Also did you try the commands from the error message:

Error: Could not find the site ID. If your site is not on Netlify, please run netlify initornetlify deployfirst. If it is, please runnetlify link.

Hey @Melvin on my local machine it works fine, but this is the log from the Netlify console:

Why would you run Netlify CLI in the Netlify CI platform? Simply run CI= npm run build as your build command. You have probably set up the wrong build command in your package.json.

@hrishikesh yes I did that now. Thanks.
