Cursor deployment

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

Cannot find module Entry point not found Output directory invalid Build failed with exit code 1
Cannot find moduleEntry point not foundOutput directory invalidBuild failed with exit code 1

Common Causes

  1. Build script in package.json references old file paths
  2. Entry point or output directory changed in build config
  3. Webpack/Vite/build tool config not updated to match new structure
  4. Plugin or dependency removed that build script depends on
  5. 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.
