gh-pages deployment issue, job fails on deploy. The directory you're trying to deploy ... doesn't exist - deployment

Question

gh-pages deployment fails with next error: My repository failed job
Checking configuration and starting deployment… 🚦
Error: The directory you're trying to deploy named /home/runner/work/azure-flask-react/azure-flask-react/dist doesn't exist. Please double check the path and any prerequisite build scripts and try again. ❗
Deployment failed! ❌
I'm trying to deploy ReactApp at Github and besides deploy Python-Flask backend hosted at Azure and back-app has its automatically generated job yml.
But for front-app I followed this answer and manually added second job in yml because I need to provide env.variables.
My backend deployment succeeds but front-app constantly fails because of duplicated path
/home/runner/work/azure-flask-react/azure-flask-react/dist
Here is my yml and package.json but there is no any extra mentioning of that directory...

Answer 1

I misunderstood the issue message, the problem was not duplicating the problem was the missed inner path passed in FOLDER in gh-pages YML settings
There was a hint in BUILD step
And one more thing: do not forget to get and add to GH your personal-access-token
