Builds fail with "fork/exec /usr/local/bin/build: no such file or directory"

[aeneasr]

I can not execute builds on the netlify platform, I receive the following error:

4:14:15 PM: Build command unable to start
4:14:15 PM: Error running command: fork/exec /usr/local/bin/build: no such file or directory

I ran a debug build based on this guide which worked without any issues.

@arekkas Can you contact support? They can help you solve your build problems.

[aeneasr]

Ok! By the way, I was able to resolve it - seems that build images don't get booted when master branch doesn't use a build pipeline. In my case, I was using a branch and introduced a build pipeline to it.

[brycekahle]

@arekkas That is curious. Can you provide more details to make sure that isn't a problem on our end?

[aeneasr]

Hm, I'm not entirely sure. I have a netlify.toml file in the project root:

[build]
  base    = "public"
  publish = "public"
  command = "yarn build"

With that file, the build fails. If I remove the file and set those settings in the Netlify UI then the build succeeds. If I remove those settings from the Netlify UI then the build succeeds as well, but is obviously not built.

I have two branches:

• master: Does not use build process (just some static html files)
• new-site: Uses gatsby/node to build the website. I added the netlify.toml here.

I am seeing these issues in the PR build preview of new-site. Does that help?

[brycekahle]

@arekkas Are you sure you want the base to be public? Normally public is an output directory, and not where you want to issue build commands.

[aeneasr]

Oh, removing base resolves the error! The error message is quite misleading, maybe this could be improved?

[brycekahle]

We can look into it, but at that point it is in a bash script so it isn't trivial.
