Analyzes error messages, identifies root causes, and provides specific fixes for common issues.\ncompatibility: Node.js 18+, React 18+, TypeScript, @webflow/webflow-cli\nmetadata:\n  author: webflow\n  version: \"1.1\"\n---\n\n# Troubleshoot Deploy\n\nDebug and fix deployment issues for Webflow Code Components.\n\n## When to Use This Skill\n\n**Use when:**\n- `webflow library share` failed with an error\n- Components deployed but aren't working correctly\n- User shares an error message from deployment\n- Bundle or compilation errors occurred\n\n**Do NOT use when:**\n- Deployment hasn't been attempted yet (use deploy-guide instead)\n- Validating before deployment (use pre-deploy-check instead)\n- General code quality issues (use component-audit instead)\n\n## Instructions\n\n### Phase 1: Gather Information\n\n1. **Get error details**:\n   - Ask for exact error message\n   - Request output from `npx webflow library share`\n   - Check if `npx webflow library log` has additional info\n\n2. **Understand context**:\n   - First deploy or update?\n   - Recent changes made?\n   - Working previously?\n\n### Phase 2: Diagnose\n\n3. **Identify error category**:\n   - Authentication errors\n   - Build/compilation errors\n   - Bundle size errors\n   - Network/upload errors\n   - Configuration errors\n\n4. **Analyze root cause**:\n   - Parse error message\n   - Check common causes\n   - Identify specific issue\n\n### Phase 3: Provide Solution\n\n5. **Give specific fix**:\n   - Step-by-step resolution\n   - Code examples if needed\n   - Verification steps\n\n6. **Prevent recurrence**:\n   - Explain why it happened\n   - Suggest preventive measures\n\n## Common Error Reference\n\nFor detailed solutions to each error, see [references/ERROR_CATALOG.md](references/ERROR_CATALOG.md).\n\n### Quick Reference\n\n| Error | Category | Quick Fix |\n|-------|----------|-----------|\n| \"Authentication failed\" | Auth | Regenerate API token in Workspace Settings |\n| \"Insufficient permissions\" | Auth | Check workspace role and token |\n| \"Module not found\" | Build | `npm install --save-dev @webflow/react` |\n| \"TypeScript errors\" | Build | Run `npx tsc --noEmit` to find error |\n| \"Unexpected token\" | Build | Check file extension is `.tsx` |\n| \"Bundle size exceeds limit\" | Bundle | Tree-shake imports, lazy load heavy components |\n| \"Component not rendering\" | Runtime | Check SSR issues, browser console |\n| \"Styles not appearing\" | Runtime | Import CSS in .webflow.tsx file |\n| \"webflow.json not found\" | Config | Create webflow.json in project root |\n| \"No components found\" | Config | Check glob pattern and file extension |\n| \"Invalid JSON in webflow.json\" | Config | Fix JSON syntax (trailing commas, comments) |\n| \"429 Too Many Requests\" | Network | Wait 60 seconds and retry |\n| \"Request timed out\" | Network | Check connectivity, proxy, Webflow status |\n| \"JavaScript heap out of memory\" | Memory | `NODE_OPTIONS=\"--max-old-space-size=4096\"` |\n| \"Circular dependency\" | Build | Extract shared code, break import cycles |\n\n### Most Common Fixes\n\n**Authentication:**\n```bash\n# Regenerate token, then:\nexport WEBFLOW_WORKSPACE_API_TOKEN=your-new-token\nnpx webflow library share\n```\n\n**Missing Dependencies:**\n```bash\nnpm install --save-dev @webflow/webflow-cli @webflow/data-types @webflow/react\n```\n\n**SSR Issues:**\n```typescript\n// Wrap browser APIs in useEffect or disable SSR:\ndeclareComponent(Component, { options: { ssr: false } });\n```\n\n**Missing Styles:**\n```typescript\n// In .webflow.tsx, import styles:\nimport \"./Component.module.css\";\n```\n\n## Debugging Commands\n\n```bash\n# Check recent deploy logs\nnpx webflow library log\n\n# Verbose deploy output (shows detailed errors)\nnpx webflow library share --verbose\n\n# Type check without deploying\nnpx tsc --noEmit\n```\n\n## Validation\n\nThe issue is resolved when all of the following are true:\n\n| Success Criteria | How to Verify |\n|-----------------|---------------|\n| Deploy completes without errors | `npx webflow library share` exits cleanly |\n| Components appear in Designer | Open Add panel in Designer and find your library |\n| Import logs confirm success | `npx webflow library log` shows successful import |\n\n## Guidelines\n\n### Error Analysis Process\n\n1. **Read the full error message** - Often contains the solution\n2. **Check the error category** - Auth, build, bundle, or runtime\n3. **Look for file paths** - Points to exact location\n4. **Check line numbers** - For code errors\n5. **Search error message** - May be a known issue\n\n### When to Escalate\n\nIf none of the solutions work, gather this data before escalating:\n\n1. **Deploy logs**: `npx webflow library log`\n2. **Verbose output**: `npx webflow library share --verbose`\n3. **Node.js version**: `node -v`\n4. **Package versions**: `npm list @webflow/webflow-cli @webflow/data-types @webflow/react`\n5. **Configuration**: Contents of `webflow.json`\n6. **Error message**: Full error output (not just the summary line)\n\nThen:\n- Check **Webflow status page** for outages\n- Search the **Webflow Community Forum** for your error message\n- Contact **Webflow Support** with the collected data above\n\n---\nSource: https://github.com/webflow/webflow-skills/blob/main/plugins/webflow-skills/skills/troubleshoot-deploy/SKILL.md\nAuthor: Webflow (webflow/webflow-skills), licensed MIT.
