Error: The directory "/opt/build/repo/build" does not contain a Next.js production build

My build worked perfectly. I can run npm run build with no problems at all, but whenever I try and deploy my Next.js project to Netlify I get an odd error. I added simple code today. I think I updated next js but this is it…

Deploy summary

* **Plugin "@netlify/plugin-nextjs" failed**

Error: The directory "/opt/build/repo/build" does not contain a Next.js production build. Perhaps the build command was not run, or you specified the wrong publish directory. In most cases it should be set to ".next", unless you have chosen a custom "distDir" in your Next config. If you are using "next export" then you should set the environment variable NETLIFY_NEXT_PLUGIN_SKIP to "true".

It was a HELL searching through all the posts I could find but I found a working fix!

Hope it will help others like me

I tried to install Next.js Runtime on my site and it said it was already installed.

Still getting the “Error: The directory /opt/build/repo/dist does not contain a Next.js production build. Perhaps the build command was not run, or you specified the wrong publish directory.”

Anything else you did to fix it?

4

Thanks but what was the fix?

5

If you provide a site name to look at, we can find a fix.

The pieces I was missing from my netlify.toml were:

[build]
    publish = ".next"

[[plugins]]
  package = "@netlify/plugin-nextjs"

This line in OP’s error log helped me out, since I was previously pointing to /out

Error: The directory ... does not contain a Next.js production build. ...

In most cases it should be set to ".next", unless you have chosen a custom "distDir" in your Next config.
