Description

I am following your tutorial. Local deployment works but when trying to deploy to surge it gets stuck on the below terminal screen.

The URL below will show "PROJECT NOT FOUND"

Hey @BernardA would you be able to supply a reproduction so that we can immediately test things out?

Thank you!

Hi, this is the link to the repository: https://github.com/BernardA/gatsby-hello-world
Thanks

Hey @BernardA! I've found a solution that worked on my end 😄

If you run yarn build and then cd into your new public/ directory, you can run surge inside of public and everything will work as expected.

Here's my deploy, using this method: http://raspy-tooth.surge.sh/

Thanks, but that did not work.

I do not use yarn, but rather running gatsby build.

See attached screenshot with my last attempt.
If I do surge from /public its not even providing a URI

oh dude, you must hit enter when stop here :
project: public/
domain: pale-religion.surge.sh
[ ENTER ]

-- Case Close --

[BernardA]

No kidding! Is one supposed to know that how? Not sure I remember ever having to hit enter AFTER entering a command on CLI.

[daspeks]

I was in the same boat until I saw this fix! The Gatsby document should be modified to reflect this!!!

[AdamMcquiff]

It's very strange that you need to press 'Enter' and it's stranger still that it doesn't prompt you to do so.

I'd lost count of how many instances I'd "spun up".

work for me. thank you very much

this worked for me on Windows 10 ,git, npm (not Yarn)

1. via CLI, INSIDE project dir created with gatsby, type npx gatsby build (mine was hello)
   2, after done building, while inside project folder (i.e. hello), type npx surge public/
2. after domain .surge.sh, press
   4.says published to .surge.sh
3. in browser, type in .surge.sh
4. should see your website
