Build Command Broken After Cursor Project Reorganization
The npm run build or similar build command now fails after Cursor reorganized your project files. The build pipeline is looking for files in the wrong locations or calling missing scripts.
Build artifacts are not being generated, preventing deployment.
Error Messages You Might See
Common Causes
- Build script in package.json references old file paths
- Entry point or output directory changed in build config
- Webpack/Vite/build tool config not updated to match new structure
- Plugin or dependency removed that build script depends on
- Source file extensions changed (ts to js) but build config not updated
How to Fix It
Verify build script in package.json: "build": "webpack --config webpack.config.js". Check build tool config matches file locations. Run with --verbose flag to see details. Ensure all entry points exist at specified paths.
