Question
npm build script not running during app build

Asked by 45c8a8f9025e45db808e201403ea96
I have an app consisting of a PHP backend and Vue 3 frontend. The app platform is able to build/deploy the site, however I noticed that it’s always displaying the old, pre-compiled code for the frontend. It’s simply not running the build script.
I assume this is because I have the following file structure:
\package.json <-- backend
\frontend\package.json <-- Vue
I have the necessary scripts in both under build:digitalocean but nothing appears to run.
If the build won’t run these scripts automatically there’s no point in me using apps at all, so hopefully this can be fixed.
