Extension rejected due to failed build with no additional information

Hi, I am working on React DevTools extension, and we couldn’t publish a release of version 6.1.1 for more than 3 weeks now.

The release got rejected 2 times due to provided instructions failing with errors. Both replies do not contain any details about build time errors and no attachments were provided, so I can’t really address the issue.

I’ve tried reproducing all the instructions that I’ve provided with the same environment that Review Team used, no build time failures observed.

Add-on link - React Developer Tools – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-GB)

Anyone can help with this, please?

If you are using NPM, make sure to submit also package-lock.json file.
Also, use npm ci instead of npm i, that will install same dependencies and should avoid compatibility issues.

Also, I’m pretty sure reviewers are using Linux, so you better test it in Linux too (I had similar issues when my build was using too much RAM and it was failing for the reviewer).
But I could see the reviewer reply with errors in the Review History:

Hey @hoxyq! Looks like you were able to get the error log. For context, we had a bug where in a small set of cases attachments weren’t being attached to a reviewer’s message as expected. Unfortunately those two submissions you mentioned were affected. We’ve identified the problem and have a fix on the way.

Thanks for the context! I’ve provided the instructions to Review Team on how to fix the build errors, hopefully we can publish a new version of the extension soon.
