Netlify deployment time out

robertsiipola · January 26, 2020, 11:30am

Hi

I’m trying to deploy a simple landing page to Netlify, but I’m confused with the deployment process. The site I’m trying to deploy has an identical file structure as this one: GitHub - adamlaz/temp-Ava. It’s got a src folder with the javascript and css files and an index.html file in the root of the project. If I run the build command locally, it creates a dist folder with the deployment files. Neither the node_modulesand dist folders are tracked by git. The contents of the package.json file are pretty much identical with the same file in the repo I linked above (temp-Ava/package-sample.json at master · adamlaz/temp-Ava · GitHub).

When I deploy the site to Netlify, I set the base directory as ., the build command as npm run build and the publish directory as ./dist. I’ve got the site linked to my git repo and whenever I push a new commit to it the deployment scheme begins. After running for ~10 minutes, I get an error saying Build exceeded maximum allowed runtime. The full error log can be seen below. There’s also another error saying that Error: Cannot find module 'brace-expansion'.

What am I doing wrong here? My best guess is that I’m not designating the root directory correctly. Another guess is that the Netlify server does not have access to the node modules and thus is not running npm install at any part of the process?

My instance name is: 1. [condescending-dijkstra-ea72ad](https://app.netlify.com/sites/condescending-dijkstra-ea72ad)

Almost certainly neither of the things you think are the problem. You’ve started a server process:

which we allow to run until we cut you off at 30 minutes. You can’t run servers here - only build static files, which we’ll serve from our CDN

Thank you for the answer! You’re right. I think the issue here then is that when I run npm install it automatically starts off the server. I’ll need to look into this and stop it.
