These are the errors I am getting when deploying my GitHub web app created in React.

By errors, I assume it’s an issue where npm run build doesn’t work because there’s no package.json file inside the build folder.

There is a package.json file on the root. When I do npm run build for the first time, it does create a build folder, but not a package.json file inside of it. Is that normal?

  }
}

GitHub: GitHub - mitchelln11/portfolio-repo
I’ve tried command line and the drag and drop build folder.

Anything will help.

There is not a package.json file in the root of your repository. It is in the folder ‘mitch-portfolio’. You need to set the base directory in your Netlify site settings to ‘mitch-portfolio’.

Hey, thanks, that’s it. Now I just need to figure out how to treat my local json files as rest apis.
