Error in deployment (digitalocean, nginx)

Hi, I just started with razzle, and created a project with default template. it works fine in my localhost. I deployed it on digitalocean droplet.

I’m getting following error client.95ca56a2.js:1 Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in client.95ca56a2.js:1

Also images are not loading. Any idea?

@cca313 you’ll need to manually set the RAZZLE_PUBLIC_DIR environment variable to “./build/public” in whatever build environment you’re using. So if you’re using Jenkins you’ll need to configure the variable in the jenkins settings. Or if you’re building inside a docker image you can set it in the dockerfile with ENV RAZZLE_PUBLIC_DIR=./build/public

I had this error too, it has to do with the way the env variables are set when building.

When you do a build, the public path is set from the environment variable ‘RAZZLE_PUBLIC_DIR’.

If you’re building on Windows it inserts the absolute path so when you then move to deploy it’s no longer valid, so express ignores the public path and serves everything requested as the HTML. Thus ‘<’ is an unexpected token in a script file.

I got around this by creating a .env file, adding ‘RAZZLE_PUBLIC_DIR=./build/public’, re-building and then deploying.

I’m not sure if this is as intended.
