Project Deployment created a long time ago doesn't have `projectSettings`

[profbear]

I have been using Vercel since before it was Vercel. I can’t even remember the name, but the deployment I’ve been using has never broken. I modified something in the deployments, trying to get www to work, but it broke. I thought I reverted all my changes, but now my site says 404.

Code: DEPLOYMENT_NOT_FOUND

When I’m on the deployment screen, I can see my old deployment, but it doesn’t have a domain. When I try to activate this deployment (working code), I get a message:

The projectSettings object is required for new projects, but is missing in the deployment payload

1. I don’t have the code that this project deployment was built from. Do I need to download the deployment source and try to re-deploy with new settings? Where in the documentation should I start?
2. I would prefer to just add a dummy projectSettings property to the deployment without having to modify the deployment using the CLI. I tried deploying the project deployment from the CLI, but ran into the same issue: “projectSettings” is missing
3. Where do I find in the documentation what sort of “projectSettings” need to be defined?

Hey @profbear. If you change the framework preset, does the error go away?

Hey amy,

Thanks for your time. If I recall, I published static files in this deployment. The only relevant files for creating the distribution of the website are included already in the deployment. I do not require a build step to create artifacts or compile JS using a framework. It’s a static page, essentially.

Configuring a Build

This is exactly what I want! We did it!!!

Resolution:

1. Set framework to Other
2. Set override checkbox to true for Build Step, and empty the input text

Cheers!
