Error code 1 that broke all my deployments

[lenmndza-5813 (DMXRUSER)]

I might as well be simple. I did a commit once, that wasnt supposed to do an error code 1. Now on all my deplotyments it has been like that. Python

Current: Keeps showing error code 1. Expected: Letting me use the app

Steps to reproduce: idk bro im so cooked. Link: buglit.vercel.app

Python, FastAPI, Redis, Gemini API, React, Patternfly

Thanks for sharing this! Error code 1 is unfortunately a very generic build failure. It can come from a bunch of different things. Since you mentioned this only started after a particular commit and now affects all deployments, here are a few things you can try right away:

Quick things to check

1. Look at the last commit you pushed. Anything in that diff stand out that could have impacted build setup?
2. Try redeploying from a known working commit. In your Vercel dashboard, find the last green deployment and hit “Redeploy”.
3. Open the detailed build logs. In the failed deployment, there should be a more specific error message than just “error code 1”.

Common causes for Python / FastAPI projects

• Missing or incorrect requirements.txt
• Python version mismatch (runtime vs local)
• Environment variables missing during build
• Build commands defined incorrectly in vercel.json

What I would suggest right now

1. Go to your dashboard
2. Find a previous successful deployment
3. Click “Redeploy” on that version
4. Then grab the specific error output from your failed build logs

If you can paste that specific error text here (beyond just “error code 1”), we can help you narrow this down much more precisely.

How to Get Good Answers

If you’re here for help with an error or issue, there are a few things you can do to get good answers as quickly as possible. Search for similar topics. Using an existing answer is much faster than waiting for new responses. Include relevant details when asking for help. Describe your goal and what problem is preventing you from achieving it. Tell us about the app (i.e. framework, packages, database type). Include any debugging steps you have already tried so others know what to skip. A m…
