Command failed with exit code 127: gatsby build

Hi there,

I’m some issue deploying my site.

I’ve tried changing the build commands in my package.json to npm run build but I’m still getting the same error I do with gatsby build.

Do you have gatsby in your package.json?

Looks like there are errors in your package.json which prevents the build step from installing your dependencies. Take a look at the format and test script entries, they both contain " (double quote) inside the string. I tried it locally and it installed correctly when fixed.

Also, your build script in package.json should probably be gatsby instead of npm run build. In this case it seems the build system is picking up a build command from netlify.toml.

Hey thank you for your response,

The double quotes are fine as they are being escaped (copy and paste didn’t show the ).

I changed the build command to gatsby build and redeployed it but I got this error.

Here is my folder structure

Here is my build settings:

hi there, do you have a directory called public in your repo? if not, add one.

Hi apologies, i just edited the message with the correct screenshot. And yes i do.

i think we can’t find public because it is inside of site. :thinking:

can you move it up a level and see if that fixes things?

TBH i’m not sure how to do that :no_mouth:. I tried removing public form the gitignore file and deploying but I got the same issue.

Change publish path to site/public

hi there, please try the following settings:

repo: keep as is
base directory: leave it blank
build command: leave as is
publish directory: site/public
deploy log: leave as is
builds: active
