Vue: Deploy failed because of "npm run build" not working?

Hi there,

I’m currently working on a Vue app and to check if everything’s working fine in “the real world”, I deployed the boiler plate Vue app created with the Vue UI.

I’ve used the default settings for Package manager and the Default preset, containing babel and eslint.

I’ve not touched the code itself and on my local machine everything is working fine.

As suggested here and here, my build settings are the following:

Build command: npm run build
Publish directory: dist

Looks like the problem is that “npm run build” isn’t properly executed, but why?

Thank you for taking the time reading this and helping me, I appreciate it! :slight_smile:

Main dependencies:

  1. core-js
  2. vue

Development dependencies

  1. babel-eslint
  2. eslint
  3. eslint-plugin-vue
  4. vue-template-compiler

how frustrating. Could you post your package.json file please?

this is what i suggested the last time we saw this error, maybe its helpful:

There you go! :slight_smile:

Thank you very much!

So you’re suggesting to deploy the site without a build command? That wouldn’t make sense, as the Vue and Netlify documentary is clear on which build command and publish directory to use when deploying a Vue project…

I think this may be an issue with where the build command is running based on your file structure. Looking at your repo here https://github.com/stevefrenzel/vue-weather-app, you currently have:

vue-weather-app
  |-src
  |-public
  |...
readme

but I believe it needs to be:

src
public
readme
...

Alternatively, you could try to cd in your build command (cd vue-weather-app && npm run build with a dist dir that’s something like vue-weather-app/dist, though I’m not positive that will work.

Wanna give those a shot and report back?

Thank you so much, you were right. It’s working now! :slight_smile:

Awesome, glad to hear :slight_smile:
