Additional context
The backstory is that I'm trying to upgrade a project created with 0.0.2 to latest and greatest and it doesn't build - and I'm trying to figure out what needs to be done, by comparing it to a project just after install.

I think errors have always been there. @Nemikolh any ideas where they come from?
It does build successfully. In the end of your log output there is:

@AriPerkkio I see that it eventually produces a result - just thinking of it as a newbie - red error notices are scary :)
AriPerkkio commentedon Oct 23, 2024
I agree! We should get rid of these errors. The
buildcommand seems to runastro check && astro build. If you removeastro check, do the errors still appear?noam-honig commentedon Oct 23, 2024
@AriPerkkio not completely

There's a lot of similar reports on Astro about this too. We should go through their reports and look for solutions there 🤔

Has anyone found the solution for this?
TheJaredWilcurt commentedon Nov 3, 2025
I ran into this issue when running a Node script that needed to transform
.vuefiles and have access to@aliases in the Vite config.I'm using
vite-node --config vite.config.lib.js ./scripts/doThing.js.To stop the
X ERROR The build was canceledtext from appearing, I changed my code to the following:try { doThing(); + process.exit(0); } catch (error) { console.log(error); + process.exit(1); }Now when
doThingthrows, it is caught, the error is logged, and the CI stops. But if it does not have any issues, it just runs and exits. In both cases theX ERROR The build was canceledis no longer shown.I think I'm just killing the process early before the Vite life-cycle can complain that no build happened, but I don't care, scary red X is gone. If you are running many async tasks, you may need to await all of them finishing and move this
process.exitcode up higher so it is the very last thing to run, to avoid it ending early. See:AriPerkkio commentedon Nov 4, 2025
This is emitted by
esbuildand should likely be fixed in Astro. I don't think TutorialKit itself cancels the builds at any moment as it's just running Astro.https://github.com/evanw/esbuild/blob/fdece9513e3dda132a8bfefbd861624a70b89b0b/pkg/api/api_impl.go#L1510
