Our site builds in development, but fails in production.

The error seems to be here: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open ‘/opt/build/repo/package.json’

Not sure why production is failing to build. Can you help?

The builder is looking for package.json at the root of your repo and not finding it.

In your Netlify site build settings, you should set the base directory to the directory that contains your package.json file. Looking at your repo, it should probably be goodhere/site.

I think you will also need to update your publish directory to be goodhere/site/public.

Thanks @william - that fixed the issue! We were referencing /site, not goodhere/site. Changing the base fixed it.
