vue NPM build deployment build error - Laravel Forge on Digital Ocean

Hi there, I'm deploying a vue application, with the built in Forge functionality, from Github to Digital ocean.

It is failing with the error (I've replaced the domain with XXXX) : ERROR Error: EACCES: permission denied, rmdir '/home/forge/XXXX/dist/assets'

My build script is: cd /home/forge/XXXX git pull origin $FORGE_SITE_BRANCH

npm install npm run build

When I npm run build from the command line it runs fine.

I have tried the solution proposed in a number of forums of sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm however that hasn't helped.

Any ideas?

I believe there is a live messaging function on Forge's dashboard. Check out the bottom right of your screen. They can probably help you

Thanks Romain :) I hadn't noticed that! Thanks for pointing it out.

I'll update the thread with an answer once solved for anyone else that might come across this.

@robj Could you share the outcome please? I'm having the same issue.

Hey @donjones - as I recall it was something to do with me deploying or updating once from the digital ocean console which runs as a different user to the forge user. Once I'd got that sorted, which was my fault in the first place, deploys from Forge were largely OK.

Hope that helps, RobJ.
