Form submissions not working about eleventy-netlify-boilerplate HOT 5 CLOSED

Yeah this is weird; just tested with a fresh deploy of this repo and the resulting form is not working (it returns a 404 on submit), however I got the same error when using the alternative data-netlify="true" format also. So it might not be related to that.

In both cases, the form is recognised by Netlify during the build (the form shows in the build log) but the resulting form does not appear to be handling the submissions.

This seems to be an issue with Netlify's form detection not recognising the contact form on a newly created site.

Interestingly, disabling and immediately re-enabling form detection in: Build & Deploy > Post processing > Form detection caused the contact form to be recognised and to accept submissions.

I'm going to close this now as Netlify have been notified about the problem and we need to wait on them. I'll post any update here.

If anyone else is having problems with the contact form being recognised on new Netlify deployments, please reply to this or open a new issue.

Netlify support have confirmed of a problem at their end causing Netlify forms to not be recognised during builds, and to fail silently.

Removing the name attribute from the form submit button causes the form to be recognised. We're still not sure why this is.
