Building resource <name> failed
A script needs to build its interface on your server before it can run, and that build failed — usually the server cannot reach the internet.
Do this first
Ask the seller for a pre-built version. A script that has to build on your server is doing something most do not.
What it means
The resource ships a JavaScript or TypeScript UI that has to be built on the server before it can run, and the build failed. yarn and webpack are themselves resources FiveM ships for exactly this.
What causes it
Ordered by how often it is the answer.
- 1
No internet on the server box
The build downloads packages. A firewalled server cannot, and the failure looks like a build error rather than a network one.
- 2
yarn or webpack is not started
They must be
ensured before anything that depends on them. - 3
A version of Node the package requires is not there
FXServer ships its own Node; a package demanding a newer one fails here.
- 4
The resource shipped without its lockfile or with a broken one
A corrupted
yarn.lockfails the install every time until it is deleted. - 5
Disk full or no write permission
The build writes into the resource folder.
How to tell which one is yours
The lines above carry yarn's own output, and it is usually explicit — a network timeout, a missing package, a permission error. Read that rather than the FiveM line.
Where to look
The resource's package.json, and whether yarn and webpack are ensured first in server.cfg.
How to fix it
ensure yarn ensure webpack ensure my-ui-script
Most paid resources ship pre-built and should not need this at all. If one insists on building on your server, ask the author for a built release.
Still stuck on your own code?
This page is what this error usually means. Paste your console into Server Fixer and it will rank everything in it and tell you what to do first, and if you would rather not touch it, ORBIE can repair the script and hand the resource back ready to drop in.
