Error while deploying NextJS app to AWS with serverless framework

Question

When I tried to deploy my NextJS app to AWS with serverless framework.

In my next JS app directory, I ran the command npx serverless

and got the following error -

$ npx serverless

  error:
  Error: Command failed with ENOENT: node_modules/.bin/next build
spawn node_modules/.bin/next ENOENT

I'm using aws configure to set my AWS credentials.

My serverless.yml file is as follow,

myNextApplication:
  component: "@sls-next/serverless-component@1.18.0"

How should I deploy my app to AWS cloud with a serverless framework?

Thanks.

I had the same issue and the problem is that I have the setup in a monorepo using yarn workspaces and lerna , and next was declared as a shared dependency in the root of the monorepo, and the nextjs app I was trying to deploy didn't have the dependency explicitly in its package.json.

For serverless to run, we need to have this dependency declared there as well.

in my case, I simply included:

"next": "11.1.3-canary.49",

in dependencies and now serverless is capable to run the command as well.
