Migrating a single page JS webapp to Netlify Functions for env secret token hider

site name: trevor4n-sutton.netlify.app site link

My project fails to build
Failed during stage ‘building site’: Build script returned non-zero exit code: 2 (Search results for '"non-zero exit code: 2"' - Netlify Support Forums)

Build + Serverless Function netlify.toml package.json

Any help would be appreciated! Serverless stuff is super new to me

The error is right at the start…

npm ERR! Missing script: “build”
npm ERR!
npm ERR! To see a list of scripts, run:
npm ERR! npm run

If you look in your package.json you can see:

"scripts": {
  "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
}

There is no build script specified there.

The only script is test and it’s just the default one.

If you’re going to run npm run build from Netlify, then specify your actual build command in the package.json e.g.

"scripts": {
  "build": "YOUR BUILD COMMAND HERE"
}

In order to satisfy the:

netlify.toml’s usage for declaring the serverless function directory
package.json’s unnecessary build command for simple single-page webapps that aren’t being webpacked etc…

I set my package.json > scripts >
"build": "echo \"setting env to prod \" & cross-env NODE_ENV=production &",
