Hugo build in NetlifyCMS template wrapper failing but site deploys locally and on other hosts

Support
1

Netlify site: wieting-theatre.netlify.app

This is a Hugo site I built elsewhere and migrated to Netlify to make implementation of NetlifyCMS a little easier, in theory. To that end I’ve employed a NetlifyCMS template via Start with a Template | Netlify CMS | Open-Source Content Management System to do all the heavy lifting. As a consequence, I don’t really understand all that’s going outside the site directory and my Hugo structure.

All of this was working flawlessly until late this afternoon when my build failed. The change I made before the failure was seemingly very small, and I’ve since reverted the change, but the builds keep failing. The latest log is attached, and every attempt I have made since the initial failure looks exactly the same, no matter what I do to my site contents.

Any suggestions?

Looking at your deploy logs and the repo, I’m unsure how the website is building locally or elsewhere.

Your webpack config is trying to look for files in the src folder, but in reality those files are inside site/src folder. It looks like the base directory for this website needs to be set as site, but then you have all your webpack config, package.json and the other stuff in the root of your repo. The directory structure and the file references have confused me, but yeah if you try to use files from /site/src/<file-name> instead of /src/<file-name>, it might work.

Would you be willing to give that a try and let us know?
