Can't find build artifacts

1

I’m deploying a nodejs application.

In Build Command, I’m running yarn install && yarn build which produces node_modules and dist directories. In Start Command, I’m running node ./dist/index.js, which fails because there’s no dist directory found.

It seems the dist folder is not uploaded on a build step, since I can’t see neither it nor node_modules when I’m logging into a container via shell.

I’m wondering what might be the root cause of that.

Deploy logs:

It was an issue in their code, the path was wrong.
