Deploy To Netlify Fails With Parcel

Support
1

I have set up a github account and linked it to a netlify account.
I build a website with parcel-bundler and it keeps failing to build with the same error with a plugin issue. The website works on my local server.

My github site link: GitHub - nijisijin/webgl-ribbons2

I installed parcel-bundler with this: npm install -g parcel-bundler
I’ve tried the build command: npx -p parcel-bundler parcel build index.html
and publish directory: dist/

package.json is :

{
  "name": "webgl-ribbons2",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "default": "index.html",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
    "start": "parcel index.html",
    "dev": "parcel index.html",
    "build": "parcel build index.html"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "browserslist": [
    "last 1 chrome versions"
  ],
  "dependencies": {
    "three": "^0.140.0"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "glslify-bundle": "^5.1.1",
    "glslify-deps": "^1.3.2"
  }
}

Namely I get this error::

I’d really appreciate it if someone could let me know what should i do for this issue.

Hey @Jin

Looking at the package.json, I suggest changing the build command in the UI to npm run build.

Also, there is no need to push the node_modules directory to git origin as Netlify installs and caches these during build.

I see the same result when trying to build your repository locally too, so this is not a Netlify-specific issue.

The issue is with postcss which is a dependency of cssnano which is automatically installed when running npm run build as the latest CSS Nano uses Post CSS 8 which is incompatible with (I believe) ParcelJS. To overcome this, I added cssnano@4.1.11 as a dependency (npm i cssnano@4.1.11) as v4 uses postcss@7. Once I did this, the build succeeded locally.

If you have any other questions or issues, please don’t hesitate to reply.

Hi @coelmay Thank you for the reply.

I have tried your suggest but still keeps failing to build… :smiling_face_with_tear:
What setting did I do wrong to build?

[solved] i have tried the build command with “npx -p parcel-bundler parcel build index.html” and it works.

Thank you for your help @coelmay
