Don't break the site immediately after releasing a new version

Open alexwlchan opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

There's a bug in the Netlify deploy process where:

  1. I push and tag a new version
  2. GitHub Actions creates the new release
  3. Netlify tries to pull vfd from that release, finds it's missing, and breaks

This is clearly suboptimal; I have to restart the build whenever this happens. For some reason Netlify interprets "build failed" as "upload an empty folder as the site", which is wrong.

I've done a tentative fix for this, but because I didn't push the new tag until after the Netlify build had started, I don't know if it had the desired effect.
