Build fails with exit code 1

Updated 7/3/2026 · Troubleshooting

Exit code 1 is a generic failure — the real cause is in the build log, usually within the last 30 lines.

Common causes

  1. Missing environment variable — check Project → Environment

  2. Node version mismatch — pin one in package.json under engines

  3. Out-of-memory — large builds need the 8 GB build tier
