Build issue with react-app

happy-swartz-33db5c

Facing build issues, This is a react app, I am trying to build from a master branch, that did not work then I tried building from gh-pages branch. This is the error I am facing . Is any one familiar with the same? I had created the app and then I am trying to deploy.
Thank you

You’ll need a package.json file in your repo :smile:.

I did not modify the package.json file, I will double check and try again.
Thank you for responding :slight_smile:

No problem! Make sure that it’s in the correct location (your base directory) too :slight_smile:

So I deleted the above mentioned site. created a new request from my master branch.
had the build and the dir as defaults

I still got a similar error

this is my github structure, package json is in the root

this is my package.json

Everything looks right to me, should I make any changes?

You’ll need to make sure that this exists :slight_smile:

It does exists in the folder its looking for it

Double-check the capitalisation :stuck_out_tongue:

My apologies for coming back to you so many times,
but I did look the capitalization.
The folder, the js component and the scss file are names exactly the same with “HomePage”, to avoid that.

@Scott
In my attempt to re-jig everything, I deleted the previous site, created a new one. it says its deployed but when I visit it it says page not found.
I had both the default build and directory empty this time.
do you spot errors?

Here is my log.

Hi, @sahils091, I do see content under the /public/ path for this site. I found this based on the following support guide:

You can download the deploy to see the deployed files. If you do so, you will see an index.html file under “public”. Based on this, it sounds like the “publish directory” should be set to “public”.

If there are other questions or concerns, please let us know.

@luke
Thank you for your response, I tried creating another site. with the publish directory set to “public/”. The site was deployed without any errors but when I navigate to the site, nothing shows up, I downloaded the file but there are no javascript files in there.
Since my app is a reactjs app, all my components are in the src folder. while the public folder contains the root index file.
I am not sure how to work around this.
I will also attach a screengrab of my master branch which I am trying to deploy.
Thank you again for your help.

This is how the website looks after deployed

Hi, @sahils091, using server side javascript isn’t supported at Netlify (with the exception of Functions). Are you generating a pure static version of your site where all javascript is client-side only?

With Create React App (CRA) this is usually done with npm run build (or yarn run build). Are you using that build command?

There is more about why this is required here:

Also, since this site is using client-side routing (as there is no server-side javascript running) the SPA (single-page app) redirect rule mentioned here is also required.

If there are other questions, please let us know.
