Publishing a Site with Code

In this article
  • Errors detected in the code
  • FAQs
When publishing a site with code, whether it was created in Wix Editor or the Studio Editor, Wix performs an automatic check for any errors. We analyze your code files (i.e. page files, web modules, .js files) and validate the syntax that may prevent the bundling of code files. 

Errors detected in the code

If dev mode is enabled while publishing and we detect errors in the code, you'll see a pop-up with options to: 
  • View the most recent build.log file and analyze the errors. 
  • Proceed with publishing the site despite the errors (not recommended).

Either way, the build.log file is available under Developer Tools  in Dev Mode.

Note:
Wix only reports code errors if there have been changes to the code since the last time the site was published. If no modifications were made to the code, Wix publishes your site without requiring any additional confirmation.
