00:50:06.011 > next .next/build 00:50:06.209 > No such directory exists as the project root: /vercel/workpath0/portfolio/.next/build

the script in package.json

"scripts": {
"dev": "next dev",
"build": "next .next/build",
"start": "next start"

},

vercel deploy terminal

Answer 1

The reason its failing with "No such directory exists" is because the .next directory doesn't exist until you run next build, which is the command that generates the output.

Change your build script to next build, like it shows in the Next.js docs, and it will work.
