I can’t seem to release a block that’s based on the unmodified Url Preview example block code.
I literally just ran:
block init [id] --template=https://github.com/Airtable/blocks-url-preview google_drive_preview
“block run” works fine.
But when I try to run “block release” here’s what I get:
scotty:google_drive_preview scotty$ block release

Failed to build the block code!

@Scotty_Allen - thanks for writing in.
A couple questions to help us debug:
- Did you make any modifications to your blocks code between
block run
andblock release
? - Did you run into the error with the vanilla template (before making any modifications)?
- Which blocks CLI version you’re using? (i.e. executing
block --version
from terminal)
Thank you!

I’ve been trying to reproduce this bug, but without luck. @Scotty_Allen is it still an issue for you? In addition to @Richard_Sinn’s questions, I’m curious about the version of the Block CLI and Node.js, as in:
block --version
node --version

I had the same issue. The problem seemed to be with the version of npm
I was using. After upgrading from 6.4.1
to 6.13.4
, I was able to successfully release the block.
