Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

I just tried updating my local install of actual server according to the instructions here. Everything seems fine on the server side, but when I open my actual server in a new incognito window, I get the error:

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat '[my_actual_repo_dir]/packages/desktop-client/build/index.html'

Did I miss something in the install docs, or bork something otherwise? Happy to get any suggestions how to fix it.

Here's the last few lines of output from the systemd journal:

How can we reproduce the issue?

Unclear. I took my existing installation of actual-server and followed the upgrade instructions.

Where are you hosting Actual?

Locally via Yarn

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Operating System

Sometimes I'm dumb and forget to read instructions... I thought I ran the build:server command, but I hadn't. Sorry for the noise.
