When trying to deploy my Remix site everything builds but when Netlify tries to load the server.js file imports.

Remix dev works fine locally. I cannot work out why this happens. All my site code lives in the folder /app as is default in Remix apps.

Site - https://bencrevis.uk/ (currently down as my previous deploy forgot to include the server.js file)

Repo - GitHub - Crevitus/personal-site

Thanks!

Hey there, @Crevitus :wave:

Thanks for reaching out, and welcome to the Netlify Forums! Have you searched the forums for additional threads related to Remix? There may be other folks who have encountered something similar. You can dive in here: Search results for 'remix' - Netlify Support Forums

If there aren’t any threads that get you on the right track, can you share a link to your site as well as your project repo? This will help us look into this further for you.

I couldn’t find anything relating to my issue on the forums sadly - I’ve updated my original post with the link to the project repo. Thanks!

Hey @Crevitus,

We checked this and it appears to be a mix-up of a lot of different frameworks and services.

Would it be possible for you to start clean with only a Remix app in your repo to see if it works? If that does work, you can expand on it and then try to do some more complicated setups.
