What is the difference between ntl dev --live and what's deployed through Netlify?

[Bonteq]

Site Name: https://hithr-static.netlify.app/

The live site’s Dynamic URLs aren’t loading as I expect, but work fine when I run the code through ntl dev --live.

What might be different between the two so I can hopefully debug the issues I’m running into.

The basis of dev --live is that you can quickly share a site with other devices/people without deploying. To my knowledge, redirects do not work in --live mode which I think is the reason you are experiencing this issue.

See this post here

Redirect with dynamic URL variables possible?

Yup, as Luke said, we won’t be able to do that natively here - redirects are static at deploy time, and I don’t think you have a full list of hostnames. If I’m wrong and you do, feel free to make one redirect per name, like this: https://luke.fbx.im/whatever https://app-luke.fbx.biz/path 301! Otherwise you’d best be served by a function that can parse the original host header, or some other dynamic solution.

Thank you for the reply.

Could you go more in-depth with redirects not working in --live mode? I still can’t wrap my head around how it’s working in --live mode and not through the proper deployment method.

[kylesloper]

That is strange if it isn’t working in your deployed site… do you mind linking to your deploy logs, so I could check them over?

Kyle.

It’s deploying just fine, but here’s the log.

If the issue only occurs after deploy with Netlify then it is almost certainly an issue with deploying.

Can you link to the actual deploy UI?

I would recommend you read this aswell.

[Support Guide] Netlify app builds locally but fails on deploy (case sensitivity)

Last Reviewed By Netlify Support Staff: December 2022 Are you struggling to understand why your project runs locally but errors out with missing files or logs that point toward issues with case when you try and build on Netlify?

Hi, @Bonteq. Is the Netlify team you use the same team under the same email address as the email address used for this forum login? If so, I’m seeing the following in your deploy details page for the only site updated this month:

No redirect rules processed

This deploy did not include any redirect rules. Learn more about redirects.

So, your redirects are not being processed for some reason. Where are your redirects? Are they in netlify.toml or in _redirects (or both which is also works)?

If you are putting the redirects in either file, that file must exist in the publish directory (dist) at the end of the deploy. That doesn’t appear to be happening for this site.

Would you please confirm at least one of those files is being copied to the publish directory before the deploy ends?

If there are any questions about this, please let us know.
