Production Build Failed: build not generating chunk-manifest.json

[rshah03]

Everything is fine until it gets to the Generating static HTML for pages part. It fails after a few seconds with the following error message:
error Generating static HTML for pages failed

  Error:

I tried running gatsby build in a clean gatsby directory, and it works without a hitch. Any idea what could be causing this issue for this particular project?

Gatsby-config.js

module.exports = {
  siteMetadata: {
    title: `Gatsby Default Starter`,
  },
  plugins: [
    `gatsby-plugin-react-helmet`,
    `gatsby-plugin-sass`
  ],
};

Hi, do you have canned resolve the problem ?? I have same issue

[neilyoung]

@rshah03 Same issue here. Did you find a way around?

[KyleAMathews]

If someone could build and share a site that reproduces this error that'd be great.

[H3yfinn]

Same error here. Not sure on the process to build and share my site, here's a link to it on github, pre-build: https://github.com/H3yfinn/finbarmaunsell.com
And here's the error:

error Building static HTML for pages failed

I can confirm that we get this same error when using import or React Loadable for code splitting:
https://github.com/reactjs/reactjs.org/blob/master/content/docs/code-splitting.md

[KyleAMathews]

Yeah, react-loadable won't work with Gatsby until v2 is out since we're still on webpack v1 which doesn't support the async import (used under the hood in react-loadable). V2 is coming along so the more helpers the faster it'll be out! https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/projects/2

[fabe]

Gatsby v2 beta already works pretty well with react-loadable, I created an example repo including Lighthouse audits: https://github.com/fabe/gatsby-react-loadable

[KyleAMathews]

Since this is working now in v2, closing!
