Hugo site builds with no errors but deploy fails

Support
,
1

Hi,

I’ve just started having issues deploying my site. It’s been working for a long time and I recently made some updates to the site - which have been building and deploying fine - until my most recent commit which basically just changed bootstrap versions (4 to 5). The site builds and runs locally just fine.

My site name: 1. festive-ramanujan-cc460e
I’ve turned on debug mode but it doesn’t help since the build appears to run fine. It looks like it’s just the deploy that fails (after 5 tries I guess) but there is no information in the build log.

I did read in the troubleshooting that if my CSS link is bad that could cause problems but I’ve copied it straight from get bootstrap so I wouldn’t think that would be the problem. I’m not doing any SASS processing or anything like that. Hugo version is the same locally and here and is the extended version.

Here’s the build log

Not sure what else to look for. Any help would be appreciated.

According to the log, there is nothing new in this build when compared to the previous build/deploy, therefore there is nothing to deploy that isn’t already deployed.

Thanks for the reply. It’s possible I copied the log from an attempt at a redeploy and maybe that is why that’s showing. Here’s another log from a build that I just ran after making a small change in my repos. Shows one file to upload but still doesn’t deploy.

I’ve done several clear cache builds too and that doesn’t seem to help.

Also, here’s the deploy failure notice if that help.

howdy @tmhudg - can you try something for me? I’d like you to try turning off asset optimization in our UI settings and then redeploy - we have the hunch that there is maybe some kind of syntax or code error in your CSS or HTML files, which is why our build process stalls when we attempt to optimize these.

switching off asset optimization should give you a working deploy (please let me know if it does not) and then you can troubleshoot your code.

Hi @Perry ,

I saw that suggestion in the troubleshooting docs and checked. Asset optimization is already off.

I’m thinking this has something to do with forms processing (the other thing that I changed when I updated bootstrap). When I switched to bs5, my forms weren’t displaying properly (the inline radio buttons were overlaying each other) so I did a bit of fiddling with styles and structure inside the form element to get it to work.

Today I branched my code and backed out the commits to before the bs upgrade and created a new site based on that branch and it worked. Then I added my BS updates (without the form changes) and that worked too.

The only other changes are the form changes. I got rid of the label element that wrapped the input fields and I’m wondering if that is causing the problems. Also, I know that I had an extra .html file that had a duplicate form as another page. That was a Hugo partial though that doesn’t actually get built (nothing refers to it). Do you still parse the .html files in the repo to look for forms or just in the built files?

Anyway, I deleted that file in the main branch and it still doesn’t deploy… Argh.

Thanks for your help on this.

Found it!

Stupid mistake of course.

So, when I was fixing my form elements for bs5 I happened to notice that, in looping over the radio button options, I was giving the same id value to each of the options. To quickly fix this, I just added the text value of the option to the id attribute - not realizing that some of the text values had spaces in them. I guess this doesn’t cause a problem on local build/runs but borks up the Netlify forms parsing process.

I see now that the build logs show the forms processing when things work and don’t show any forms processing when it is failing (but don’t indicate any problems - they just don’t appear). I vaguely recall wondering about this but I think I figured it wasn’t re-doing them because they were cached or whatever. Now I’ll know to look for them explicitly.

So, my fault (which it was always going to be of course) for messing up the html. Maybe there could be a bit more diagnostics on form parsing errors though to make finding things like this a little easier to find.

Thanks the help.

glad you found the culprit, and great summary @tmhudg !
