The deployment failed to initialize due to a configuration or code error (1)

[grossmanaitan]

This if my first time trying to deploy and I’m getting:

2024-01-05T07:04:40Z error: The deployment failed to initialize due to a configuration or code error. Check the logs tab for more information. For additional support, please post on https://ask.replit.com/c/help/13 and a staff member will take a look.

There’s nothing to help debug, so can someone please take a look?

Hey, @grossmanaitan welcome to the forums!

Can you please provide a link to the repl? This way it is easier for staff and members of the community to help you!

Also see this guide on how to share your code:

It’s a private repl that I don’t want to share publicly. I only have one repl though if you have permission to view

[NateDhaliwal]

Hi @grossmanaitan !
You can store the private info in Secrets or remove it temporarily.
Alternatively, forking it and censoring it and making it public could work too, as it doesn’t affect the original.
Thanks!

I think there’s some confusion I don’t want to share any part of my repl publicly. The instructions were “For additional support, please post on https://ask.replit.com/c/help/13 and a staff member will take a look.” but it seems like this is a public forum. If you want me to share the repl with you privately I can do that, otherwise maybe you can suggest a different avenue?

Separately, it’s pretty unfortunate that there’s no better way to debug deployment issues. If replit is offering deployment as a service, then it should either work reliably or be escalated automatically. We shouldn’t be on our own debugging with no visibility. And it seems like many people are having the same issue

That’s just some feedback

[NateDhaliwal]

Hey @grossmanaitan !
Could you send the full logs of the error and not just the line you sent in the first post? It’s easier to determine the cause of the error this way.
Thanks!

Hi @grossmanaitan !
Thanks for the logs! I just need 1 more piece of information: what is your repl about (bot, website with backend, website without backend etc)?
Thanks!

[grossmanaitan]

Website without backend

[NateDhaliwal]

Hi @grossmanaitan !
In that case, you should deploy your bot as a Reserved VM and not Autoscale or Static.
Hope this helps!

[QwertyQwerty88]

Um, no? @grossmanaitan should deploy as Static, since it’s a website without a backend, not a bot?

[grossmanaitan]

Static worked, thanks!
