WebSite Deployment failed with error 2

I’ve been working the solution for hours but nothing happend. I can run my site locally but I got this message in Netlify.

I have the config file and I’ve also added a netlify.toml but it seems is undetected.

Here is my repo if somebody want to see the details

Hey @rogerlop

This error is covered in [Support Guide] Frequently encountered problems during builds — section 2 whereby you need to set the base directory.

If you have any further issues, please don’t hesitate to reply.

Closing this thread as is now a duplicate of Failed to deploy Hugo theme. Exit code 2
