Misleading error message when an invalid `NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN` is provided

Open zetaraku opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Describe the bug

A confusing error message is shown when running netlify deploy with an invalid NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN:

»   Error: Site not found. Please rerun "netlify link"

I did some inspection and found out that a TextHTTPError: Unauthorized error is thrown from line 6 instead of expected line 11 in this file:

https://github.com/netlify/cli/blob/73f4eb59f859adfee142b7213e70168a8cec7681/src/utils/get-site.ts#L4-L18

Steps to reproduce

  1. Run netlify deploy with a valid NETLIFY_SITE_ID and an invalid NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN.

Configuration

[build]
  command = "npm run build"
  publish = "./dist/"
