Netlify Build Plugin Configuration Error
Netlify build fails due to plugin configuration errors. The deploy log shows 'Plugin error' but the app builds fine locally.
Specific plugin (Node version manager, environment variable handler, etc.) fails during the build process.
Error Messages You Might See

Error parsing netlify.toml
Plugin failed during build
Node version 16 not compatible
Common Causes
- Plugin not installed or netlify.toml points to wrong version
- Plugin configuration syntax error in netlify.toml
- Plugin requires environment variables not set
- Plugin expects certain file structure missing in repo
- Node version specified in netlify.toml incompatible with dependencies
How to Fix It
Check netlify.toml for syntax errors using TOML validator
Verify plugin packages: npm ls @netlify/plugin-*
Check build logs for specific plugin error message
Update Node version in netlify.toml to match local dev: node_version = "18.17.0"
