I am executing the Static Web App CLI to deploy a simple HTML website.
swa deploy --api-language none --api-version none --env Production --verbose > deployment-log.txt 2>&1
The error I get is below. How do I fix this?

Node version is 20.18.3, but I have also tried it with versions 18.17.1, 16.20.2 and 15.14.0.
SWA CLI version is 2.0.3
Hi ,
i think its environment problem ,
1- Check Node.js and NVM setup
nvm list
nvm use <desired_version>
node -v
npm -v
2-Check Swa-cli installation (try with elevated permissions)
npm install -g @azure/static-web-apps-cli
3-Check folder strucuture and that the conifg.json point to the correct folder
4-Check permission that you have acces to the rg : rg-swa-playground
az login
az account set --subscription <subscription_id>
5- check your logs since your using the --verbose inside the deployment-log.txt

I assume its an environment error otherwise there would be many more similar issues.
1- Check Node.js and NVM setup
I feel like I already provided this information
Which version should I use. As stated, I have tried 20.18.3, but I have also tried it with versions 18.17.1, 16.20.2 and 15.14.0. NONE of these worked,
NVM list
nvm use <desired_version>
I have used these to switch to each version of node, before running swa deploy
node -v
v20.18.3
2-Check Swa-cli installation (try with elevated permissions)
What do you mean elevated permissions?
I have run VS Code as admin. I also tried in cmd prompt as admin.
3-Check folder strucuture and that the conifg.json point to the correct folder
It does, unless I am missing something here.
My home.html file is in a src and output folder
Screen shot for reference
4-Check permission that you have acces to the rg : rg-swa-playground
I only have one subscription by I ran the az account set --subscription <id> command to be use, still did not work
I am the admin to the tenant and subscription so I absolutely have permission to this resource group.
I modified the swa cli js files to include extra logging and found the root cause was because I did not have an index.html file, I only had a home.html file.
