Deployment error build.command failed

[iluki89]

Already for weeks I am trying to deploy my repo GitHub - ilukin89/MovieParadise-client: movie database website based on React (redux branch) on Netlify, with no success. Netlify site is: https://movie-paradise-cl.netlify.app

I am getting an error:

Hi @iluki89

One thing to note is as the dist directory already exists in the repository, you could simply publish that without building the site (remove the build command from the build settings.)

If you wish to have Netlify build, could you try moving parcel from the devDependencies to the dependencies list.

[iluki89]

I will try. I have so many issues, including redirecting issue. I tried putting _redirects file into the src folder (I do not have public folder), but still I get 404 error

[coelmay]

Hey @iluki89

I tried cloning the repository to test locally. Unfortunately I cannot get the app to build due to an issue with the .scss files (something to do with @parcel/transformer-sass I believe.) Running parcel serve src/index.html does work, but results in the following errors

Part of the issue too is parcel is listed under devDependencies instead of dependencies. As you are trying to build using parcel, you will need to add it under dependencies (as previously stated.)

I note you have added scripts to publish to GH Pages since your last post. Are you planning to publish there or still publish to Netlify?

Edit
The issue with .scss files on build is resolves with adding the --no-minify flag.

[iluki89]

Hi Cole and thank you for the effort. I was in the meantime trying to publish anywhere, out of desperation lol. But it does not work even with GH pages.
I am running locally through npx parcel src/index.html.
I have installed parcel transformer-sass through npm. But netlify would always give me some new error… After installing sass, the error was with “main” in json so i removed it.

Oh ok, so I have to move parcel to dependencies - I will do that.

Your last sentence - what does it mean? what is --no-minify flag?

[coelmay]

@iluki89

Your last sentence - what does it mean? what is --no-minify flag?

This is a build flag (or parameter which is now known as --no-optimize EDIT: still use --no-minify) which is read by parcel.

So if the standard build command is

parcel build src/index.html

you add the parameter/flag to the end e.g.

parcel build src/index.html --no-optimize

[iluki89]

I just realised I too cannot run locally through Parcel anymore. This is a nightmare. I deleted gh-pages etc. but now I am getting axios node_module error (reinstallation of axios does not help either). what a nightmare

[coelmay]

@iluki89

axios node_module error

Yes, I found the same thing. Interestingly if I ran

parcel build src/index.html

I did not get the error. But when I added a build script to the package.json i.e.

"scripts": {
  "build": "parcel build src/index.html"
}

and then ran npm run build I did get the error. I unfortunately have not yet found solution to this.

[coelmay]

With further testing, I may have found a solution for you @iluki89.

The solution is to switch from parcel to react-scripts.

Here’s what I have done.

Install react-scripts

npm i react-scripts

In the project root, create a public directory, then move index.html from src to public. In index.html change

<div class="app-container"></div>

to

<div id="root"></div>

as this is standard for React (though this is changeable.)

There is an issue with the <Route> components used in main-view.jsx. These need wrapping in <Routes>. To fix, change

import {
  BrowserRouter as Router,
  Route,
  Redirect,
  Switch
} from "react-router-dom";

to

import {
  BrowserRouter as Router,
  Routes,
  Route,
  Redirect,
  Switch
} from "react-router-dom";

Then in the file wrap the <Route> components in <Routes> i.e.

<Routes>
  <Route exact path="/" render={() => {
    // rest of code
  }} />
 <Route path="/register" render={() => {
    // rest of code
  }} />

    // rest of code

</Routes>

Stayiing in main-view.jsx the Redirects import from react-router-dom is incorrect. This is (now at least) Navigate so the import statement above gets changed to

import {
  BrowserRouter as Router,
  Routes,
  Route,
  Navigate,
  Switch
} from "react-router-dom";

Lastly (I think lastly) if you have changed the container in public/index.html you need to change this in src/index.jsx. If as above it now has id="root" this line

const container = document.getElementsByClassName('app-container')[0];

becomes

const container = document.getElementById('root');

Nope, one more lastly
In the package.json add a build script i.e.

"scripts": {
  "build": "react-scripts build"
}

Then build using npm run build (this is the same command you will use when asking Netlify to build.)

Let me know if you run into any further issues.

[quannv]

I got the same error
This is my command:
“scripts”: {
“start”: “craco start”,
“build”: “craco --max_old_space_size=4096 build”,

Please advise
