ReactJs Project on App Engine Standard - deployment fails with error code 13

[DopeNotes]

After 6 months of no issues, I now get an error code 13 when trying to deploy a reactjs project using nodejs14 to Google App Engine Standard via gcloud.

I didn't change the package.json or my app.yaml.

It's always worked without an issue for the past 6 months.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Details:

App.yaml (which is the same as the current deployed version from a week ago)

runtime: nodejs14
env: standard
instance_class: F1
handlers:
  - url: /(.*\..+)$
    static_files: build/\1
    upload: build/(.*\..+)$
  - url: /.*
    static_files: build/index.html
    upload: build/index.html
  - url: .*
    script: auto
automatic_scaling:
  min_idle_instances: automatic
  max_idle_instances: automatic
  min_pending_latency: automatic
  max_pending_latency: automatic
service_account: xxxxxxxx@appspot.gserviceaccount.com

After reading numerous post, I've tried the following:

Updating my gcloud sdk:

gcloud components update 

My current version is 436.0.0.

Updating my app with the following:

gcloud config set interactive/hidden true
gcloud app update --service-account [my-app-id]@appspot.gserviceaccount.com

My deploy script,

gcloud app deploy --verbosity=debug --log-http

[DopeNotes · Accepted solution]

I got the solution via stackoverflow, I'm posting it here incase anyone else runs into this issue.  The solution for me was to update my package.json with "gcp-build":""

April 11, 2023 release introduced a breaking change to Nodejs Apps

For all the services using the Node.js runtime, npm run build now automatically runs during deployment if you have the npm build script defined in your package.json file.

If you don't want it to run the build, then add "gcp-build":"" to the scripts part/section of your package.json file
