Hi @EasyCart, @Jade_Paoletta, I am experiencing the exact same error:

Hi,

This is a pretty old post, but your logs seem to show your code is looking for a file in the dist folder.

dist folders are often created with build scripts. Ensure your Build Command is set to install dependencies and build any files that are required.
