Netlify deploy errors

Support

HELPPPP… Please check Lines 107-113 . This is a gatsby site so everything is triggered thru the config.js file but for some reason Netlify can not find that file? No idea why this is happening. Pls see deploy log below:

I think it’s quite obvious. The build log never said it can’t find the file, it says, it’s not a directory.

For some reason, you’re using config.js as your publish path, while it should be public.

That was a bit of a spicy response but nonetheless helpful as it fixed my issue (still, tip of the hat to you Sir–THANKS FOR THE FIX).

But let me prettify your response so that your technical responses come across a little less biting.

Instead of: “I think it’s quite obvious”
Try: “You may have missed this in our docs (helpful link)… Or perhaps you should try (helpful link)” :mechanical_arm:

Instead of: “The build log never said it can’t find the file, it says, it’s not a directory.”
Try: “To be clear, the build log didn’t mention a missing file but a DIRECTORY. This distinction is important to remember as the scripts aren’t looking for a file but rather a directory , which in your case should be the /public folder, in the build” :mechanical_arm:

Some comity and kindness to your fellow human always go a long way toward improving technical communication and removes unnecessary layers of perceived bias and enmity toward the person you’re trying to help which is clearly not the goal which should be, to quote the philosopher-king Borat, “very niiiice” to every human on these discussion boards.

It may be a hack(neyed) expression but remember, “I don’t care what you know until I know that you care”.

THANKS–R

Sure, that’s fair. Thanks for making the forums better for everyone.
