Advanced Answers - Module 6 - Error Creating Preview

Challenge Troubleshooting & Discussion
1

I’m at Step 5 of the Advanced Answers Module 6 Module Assessment.

Before I’ve even made any changes in the Code Editor, when I click ‘Create Preview’ I get an error saying " There was an error creating the preview. Click here to view the corresponding build progress.".
When I follow the prompt to see the build progress of the ‘Initial commit’ I can see it’s failed with no Console Output (see screenshot below). Any idea what may be going on here?

Thanks!

Hi Gabriel,

This was a system error. I’ve manually fixed it for you and flagged this to our engineers for a longer-term solution to make sure this doesn’t happen.

So you (or anyone else encountering this issue knows), there should be two auto-commits that happen via the yext-pages-sandbox system to your repo – you’ll see this in your recent commits for all new accounts:

  • Initial Commit
  • Rename config file to config.json

In this case, the second one did not happen and there was only one commit in the account (this is what our engineers are going to investigate). I updated the config.json file name to contain the right business ID for your account so that the file name is:
config.answers-turtleheadtacos-2499888.landingpagessbx.yextengtest.com.json where 2499888 is your account ID.

Thanks,
Liz

Hey @Liz_Frailey,

I have the exact same issue with my Answer Module 12 Assessment (https://sandbox.yext.com/s/2502366/sites/).
Does the renaming of the config file is something that can be done from my side ?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Hi Nicolas,

I went ahead and updated the config name for you to have your business ID. Let me know if you’re still having issues.

Thanks,
Liz
