How to fix Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory,

Question

I'm trying to deploy my site to my github pages, but when I run npm run deploy it keeps giving this error:

**Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat 'C:\Users\Wordsoft Ent\OneDrive\Desktop\Jewellry website\jewellry\build'

I have installed gh-pages. I have been trying this for days now. I'm running a vite-react app and tried deploying it.

Answer 1

If you have the gh-pages installed on your project

npm install gh-pages --save-dev

then you should look out for a dist folder not a build folder as vite uses dist

so your package.json file should look very much like this:

package.json

I added the predeploy just to ensure that my project is built before deploying
