Netlify deploy with build flag uses different directory

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

netlify deploy and netlify build commands are working correctly however, doing netlify deploy --build uses a wrong deploy path.

netlify deploy:

Deploy path:        /home/bronze/coding/gold/dist
Configuration path: /home/bronze/coding/gold/netlify.toml

netlify deploy --build

Deploy path:        /home/bronze/coding/gold/astro build
Configuration path: /home/bronze/coding/gold/netlify.toml

Honestly i dont know ehere that astro build is coming from

Steps to reproduce

Tried reverting to version 11.5.1 and everything worked. Caught this discrepancy: 11.6.0

  1. build.command from netlify.toml
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
$ astro build

11.5.1

 1. build.command from netlify.toml
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
$ pnpm build || ( npm install pnpm && pnpm build )

I dont even have astro build on my netlify.toml. Changed the command on my package.json too and it didnt change, so im not sure where it is getting this command from.

Configuration

[build.environment]
  NODE_VERSION = "16"

[build]
  publish = "dist"
  command = "pnpm build || ( npm install pnpm && pnpm build )"

[dev]
  autoLaunch = false
  command = "pnpm run dev"

[[redirects]]
  from = "/*"
  to = "/index.html"
  status = 200

@bronze

Closing this as it has been resolved in https://github.com/netlify/cli/pull/5084.

Please update the Netlify CLI package to v11.8.3.

Thank you @sarahetter for the super-quick fix.

@dariodevito Thank you for finding out the potential cause. I debugged @bronze’s site independently & found the issue occurring at the mentioned line.

@sarahetter This issue seems to be originating in this PR: https://github.com/netlify/cli/pull/5029

The publish variable (which originally had the location of the build directory) is being overwritten by the build command.

Could you please take a look?
