Deployment failure: babel command not found

Kameshwaran · March 12, 2020, 11:40am

Deployment fails and it says babel command not found. Though I have it as dev-dependency.

Hello @Kameshwaran and welcome!

Can you share your package.json also please?

By the way, I’m not sure if your build command works on Netlify?
npm run build && cd docs && npm install && npm run build

You build, go to the docs folder (don’t think this works on Netlify), npm install (which Netlify does automatically) and then you build again?

Hi @fredneutron ,

Welcome to the forums thanks so much for reaching out. Please give this resource a read?

If that does not help please share your site name/slug and your build setting.

fredneutron · March 1, 2023, 8:11pm

my site name is https://taupe-melba-6c9a15.netlify.app/

and here is my build setting

hrishikesh · March 5, 2023, 11:04am

Try using npx babel instead of babel in your command.

fredneutron · March 5, 2023, 1:03pm

@hrishikesh
I just tried it now, and it is the exact error that babel was not found, so it is trying to install it but ended up installing the wrong one.

As this mentions, did you try installing babel-cli?

fredneutron · March 5, 2023, 2:19pm

@hrishikesh

Yeah, I did. it was still the same so I uninstalled it.

hrishikesh · March 5, 2023, 4:26pm

Please share a reproduction repo.

fredneutron · March 6, 2023, 6:35am

@hrishikesh here is the link to the repo
https://github.com/fredneutron/Ride-My-Way/tree/deploy-fix

gualter · March 9, 2023, 3:12pm

hi @fredneutron

I forked that repo and was able to deploy branch deploy-fix. What are the steps I need to run to reproduce the same error you have?

Thanks

fredneutron · March 9, 2023, 3:33pm

Hi @gualter
There is no particular step to it, I have already provided every detail on the issue. I am able to deploy fine on my localhost, the only problem is on Netlify, maybe you can share your steps so I can cross-check and see what I’m missing.

Thanks

gualter · March 9, 2023, 3:36pm

@fredneutron

I just forked your repo, then created a new site on Netlify, set the production branch as deploy-fix and it worked. What happens when you follow this steps?

fredneutron · March 9, 2023, 3:48pm

@gualter
I just tried it again now, it is deploying now. one other issue, how do I publish the main in my package.json file?

thanks

gualter · March 9, 2023, 3:55pm

hi @fredneutron

You want to publish this repo on your site? You need to have an index.html for the site to render:

The site already has an index.js, take a look at my deployment that I mentioned:

https://dainty-halva-33e2f5.netlify.app/index.js

Hope this helps!

fredneutron · March 9, 2023, 4:06pm

thanks @gualter

I fixed it now, I change the publish directory to the directory of the index.html, the page is working fine.

thanks for your help.

gualter · March 9, 2023, 4:19pm

awesome! glad I could help
