Error: [BABEL] /opt/build/repo/src/index.js: Cannot find module '@babel/helper-call-delegate'

I am currently seeing this error when building my branch. I am using create-react-app behind the scenes. I used to see the same issue on my local, but clearing the node_modules directory and running yarn again fixed it. Unfortunately I am unable to do the same on the netlify environment. I tried upgrading my package.json version but that did not work. Can someone please look into it? Thanks!

I think clearing the cache for me would help. I did that on my local and I am able to run yarn build successfully. The same command does not work on Netlify servers. I also need this to run on the dev branch and not on the production branch (which is why I don’t have the option to clear cache in the Netlify UI).

Any way I can clear the cache for my branch ‘dev-app’ ? I think this will resolve the issue as it did on my ‘master’ (production) branch. Thanks.

UPDATE: Was able to get the issue fixed by switching from building with ‘yarn’ to building with ‘npm’

Thanks so much for the follow-up, @oliverox! I assume you use npm locally as well?

Yes I do. Locally it’s easy to just delete node_modules and reinstall. It would be great if we could easily clear cache on Netlify servers for branch deploys.

hi @oliverox, were you aware of this?

@perry: Yes I was aware of this but it wasn’t helpful AFAIK this feature to “clear cache and deploy site” is only available for the production build and not for branch builds (unless I am wrong here, so please correct me).

No confusion - you’re right, that is only available for the production branch.
