Hello, I have tried most of the suggestions about this error codes: Command failed with exit code 127: npm run build and Failed during stage ‘building site’: Build script returned non-zero exit code: 2, but I can’t seem to make it work. I tried changing the build command to CI= npm run build, only build, webpack, etc. I added the CI false variable. No change. I don’t see where exactly is the problem, because there is no ERR message, please check the log below. Issue building below: 12:05:07 PM: Build ready to start 12:05:31 PM: build-image version: d7b3dbfb0846505993c9a131894d1858074c90b4 (focal) 12:05:31 PM: build-image tag: v4.10.1 12:05:31 PM: buildbot version: 4cffa5dc84445a450e8be6f710e2498d87994fae 12:05:31 PM: Fetching cached dependencies 12:05:31 PM: Failed to fetch cache, continuing with build 12:05:31 PM: Starting to prepare the repo for build 12:05:31 PM: No cached dependencies found.

Hi @vivka7 > [@vivka7](#): > > base: /opt/build/repo/docs It would appear the `docs` directory contains a built site that requires no building, therefore there is no need for a build step. Set the _publish directory_ to `docs` and the site should deploy without issue. ---
