Question

UI dist folder missing during deploy

I have merged the Commerce Starter Kit with custom Admin UI code. When I run the aio app build, it is completed successfully, but when I run the aio app deploy, I get the following error:

Deploying web assets for 'commerce/backend-ui/2' Error: missing files in /home/user/Documents/App-Builder/Publishapp(testing)/testApp1/dist/commerce-backend-ui-2/web-prod, maybe you forgot to build your UI ?

The strange part is: if I zip this same project (without node_modules) and share it with another developer in my team, they only do npm install and aio app deploy, and it works perfectly on their machine.

What could be causing this “missing dist folder” issue only on my system, even though the code and steps are the same?

does the user you are sharing with have the same version of node, CLI, and plugins that you have here? 

 

Can you delete the whole folder and try again from the zip you shared with them?
