Dfx deploy fails because of did compile

I’m facing the same issue when I dfx deploy than when I dfx generate. Looking forward to the answer to the latest in the other thread but here my question is why does dfx compiles the did files when I deploy? If there is a good reason, is there a param to skip it?

Actually, I don’t care. Nvm this question.

Not always, but if the local did file contains init args or import, dfx have to compile the did file to perform some rewriting before storing the did file into canister metadata.
