Cant deploy npm prod with forge

Hi @smoketm

I assume you know that but did you commit your nnode_modules to your git and pushed it to your server? If so you should ignore them in your git, remove them and run npm install & npm update

This should give you some warnings if there are packages that require a licence.

In general removing node_modules is always a good start.

Hope it helps!

This should help from generating it

Thanks for your answer but node modules are automatically on the .gitignore so they get not pushed to the repo? And therefore not auto deployed by forge? Or is there something I have missed?

Tried it but get the same error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge: public/css/app.css public/js/app.js

It only works if I run it in dev mode

Well the file is most likely still there from earlier. I normally run git reset --hard before I pull on production. Doing that now should allow you to pull the newest build

@smoketm node_modules is not deployed via git because it is installed when you call npm install or npm ci on your deployment. You should not remove node_modules from .gitignore ever.

@smoketm Are you running npm ci before npm run prod? You need to run npm ci first in your deploy script. Otherwise, it will fail.
