Zola initialised but not available in build stage

Support
1
  • Site: nulltree.xyz
  • Deployment fails on build stage as it can’t find zola. Zola is initialised via the set environment variable ZOLA_VERSION (0.21.0) in the Dashboard though, verified by setting it to the (yet) invalid 0.22.0 , erroring in the initialisation step already. This was working as-is end of September.
  • npm run build:cssis a wrapper for npx @tailwindcsscli -i styles/tailwind.css -o public/style.css --minify

It will be looked at after the holidays to ensure stability.

I just tested deploying my website, and now it worked.

Happy to hear that, not working for me, though :slight_smile:

Did you do a normal deploy or one without cache?

My deploy was without cache, and it worked.

Without cache twice ~3h apart. Both failing unfortunately.
ZOLA_VERSION = 0.21.0

I can confirm this change has been rolled out. Could you share a link to the deploy?

Did work now, thank you very much!

The update probably hadn’t propagated yet to my region/server.
