Hi, I am trying to deploy a build but when I click ‘Deploy’ nothing happens.  
I get this error in my console  
 ![Screenshot from 2020-08-20 13-40-36](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex003/uploads/testdrone/original/2X/c/c46ac421c4d8df64f5cd9ecfe1fa8fc0f14b2061.jpeg)

Before this, I had a deploy that did work (two weeks ago)

have you checked your server logs? returning a nil build would mean that no build was created. The likely root cause is that you are trying to promote a build, but your yaml has a `trigger` section that is evaluating to false, preventing the promotion. Your server logs would tell you more.

These are my logs when I run ‘docker logs drone’

    commands:
      # Deploy and sync db
      - sh deploy-staging.sh
      - sh sync-prod-with-staging-db.sh
    when:
      event: push # Execute this step only when somebody pushes to master

  - name: ui-testing

    commands:

  - name: deploy-sandbox
    image: gabrielnicolae313/meteord:latest
    commands:

    when:
      event:
      - promote
      target:
      - sandbox  

  - name: deploy-production
    image: gabrielnicolae313/meteord:latest
    commands:
      - sh deploy-production.sh
    when:
      event:
      - promote
      target:
      - production 

trigger:
  branch:
    - master
  event:
    - push

when you promote a build, the event type will be `promote`. The trigger section, as defined above, would evaluate to false since it is limited to push events and would therefore not execute your pipeline.
