**I’m having trouble with**  
When I try to publish my site I’m getting an error reported in the build.log

build.log

> ```javascript
> ------------------------------------------------------
> deploymentId: 11afe5a6-bf3e-41d6-a7f5-aa11b5f05855
> 14/01/2026, 12:37:25
> Status: Error
> ------------------------------------------------------
> [masterPage.js]: Cannot find module 'wix-auth' in 'public/pages/masterPage.js'
>

masterPage.js

```javascript
import wixData from 'wix-data';
import { elevate } from 'wix-auth';
import { contacts } from 'wix-crm.v2';
import { badges } from 'wix-members.v2';
import { secrets } from 'wix-secrets-backend.v2';

```

It seems to be running ok in Preview, at least I can’t see anything going wrong.

It WAS working the last time I published a couple of weeks ago. Is it something I’m doing? or are dark forces at work 🙂

**Working in**  
Wix Editor

**Many thanks**

Doug

Nothing seems immediately wrong with the way the imports are written. Can you share more of the code?

Is it still happening after refreshing the editor?
