Since yesterday I’m facing an error that I haven’t been able to fix or to find information about. I can build my site locally without errors but when I try to deploy it in Netlify it fails and throws:

It seems to be related with Node versions so I tried to fix by adding a .nvmrc but the error persists. Both (locally and Netlify) are running Node version 12.16.3.

Of course, I also tried to build with the cache cleaned.

The issue doesn’t provide much more information so I’m a bit lost.

Hey there!

Can you try updating the Node version env variable?

3

It’s done by adding the version .nvmrc isn’t? Which version should I use? According to Node latest stable version is the 12.18.3.

4

Technically, it’s either/or location! Only, I can say for certain that the env var isn’t dependant on a file location/path :slight_smile:

Our build image will support “Any version [of node] that nvm can install.”

Just out of interest, does the build fail if you don’t specify the version?

5

Yes, indeed, I wasn’t locking the Node version before I saw this error. Then I created the .nvmrc file and I used the same version that I saw in (v12.16.3):

Spooky! I don’t suppose you can share the site name or a URL to a deploy log for us to dive in on?

7

It should be fixed in the next Netlify release according to Netlify deploy throws: Error: Invalid version: “1” · Issue #1608 · netlify/build · GitHub. In the meantime, it is fixed by changing the version field in the package.json. From 1 to 1.0.0.

That’s great – Micky’s such a source of knowledge. Thanks for closing the loop!
