Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'files') I'm getting this when deploying a suitecommerce theme

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The error message "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'files')" typically occurs when you're trying to access a property of an object that hasn't been defined yet. In the context of deploying a SuiteCommerce theme, this could be due to a variety of reasons. One possible reason could be that the theme assets are not correctly defined or located in your project. Make sure that all the necessary files are present and correctly referenced in your project. Another possible reason could be a problem with the deployment process itself. If you're using Gulp for deployment, make sure that your Gulp tasks are correctly set up and that they're not causing any issues during the deployment process. In the third thread, a user faced a similar issue while deploying to a production account. The error was due to a hidden file (.DS_Store) that was not allowed in the FileCabinet. The solution was to delete these hidden files using a terminal command. You might want to check if there are any such hidden files in your project that could be causing the issue. Here's the terminal command that was suggested:

bash
~ % find . -name ".DS_Store" -type f -delete -print

This command will search for all .DS_Store files in your project and delete them. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
