Question

I am trying to deploy a react project but did not use create-react-app to start the project i used a site called createapp.dev so i don't know if that is the issue. i included my package.json and an image of the error is as follows

    "scripts": {
    "predeploy": "npm run build",
    "deploy": "gh-pages -d build",
    "clean": "rm dist/bundle.js",
    "start": "react-scripts start",
    "build-prod": "parcel build src/index.html"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "node-sass": "^7.0.1",
    "react": "^18.2.0",
    "react-dom": "^18.2.0",
    "react-router-dom": "^6.3.0"
  },

  }
}

Answer 1

You don't have a script called "build" in your package.json. Try with "build-prod" instead!

Answer 2

npm run build means to run the script called build from that list you provided. Your list doesn't have a script called build, so it fails.
