https://github.com/genxai/new my project is open source here

you somehow don't have a _generated Folder, you need to run the command npx convex dev and once your API is generated you should run the npm build command locally, and fix the errors in your repo. and I'd generally not import the api like that, I'd create a path resolver in my tsconfig to reolve the path for example

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

so do I run this locally npx convex dev then commit the generated files?

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

mby it should be done at build phase? somewhere here perhaps

jamwt•2mo ago

yep, commit the generated files when you commit whatever code uses it

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

ok lovely, comitting

jamwt•2mo ago

that's why _generated isn't in the .gitignore

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

thanks for reply

jamwt•2mo ago

no problem

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

it generated nothing the setup.mjs is formatter i discarded it

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

its there actually

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

vercel doesn't see it, it seems ohh

Sara•2mo ago

you need to push to github first..

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

@Topf git ignored that folder i wonder why he chose to git ignore it ok removing that line its kind of weird to push generated files to remote tho i'd think like it can be done at deploy stage maybe? wouldn't it overload git history? but ok comitting it

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

its not that many files

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

ok checking what it means

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

or this is prob off

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

I assume at this point, the tokens don't get passed maybe thats from docs

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

maybe i need env here

jamwt•2mo ago

no, the environment variable gets set in the vercel environment

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

ok i set these

jamwt•2mo ago

see step 4 CONVEX_DEPLOY_KEY

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

p.s. the project runs locally thats with deploy_key

Sara•2mo ago

well, I'd run npm build locally and resolve all the issues first

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

a strange @Topf doesn't have a bulid command

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

i started building on convex from his template as it looked great ok checking what build cmd should be prob smth with vite

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

ok lets see

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

npm run generate && vite build i guess this should be it npm run generate && npx vite build ok this more accurate

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

yea ok locally it passes smth off in vercel checking docs I do have this

Sara•2mo ago

I'd stop writing messages here, since technically your main issue is resolved 😅

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

should I make new thread? my thread was about deploying to vercel but it didn't deploy all builds fail

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

I basically want to get local convex project deployed on vercel I set the right envs I think

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

i wonder if i can get this /vercel/.npm/_logs/2025-09-23T17_08_21_706Z-debug-0.log

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

in vercel to see why build fails in vercel

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

oh interesting it generated smth new

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

going to push this mby thats the issue

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

yea same issue

Sara•2mo ago

nope, just use the time taken to write messages here in debugging your issue

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

yea I am trying to understand the reason but vercel is not saying much

Sara•2mo ago

did AI write the code?

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

ok trying to open that log file

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

no its from this template https://github.com/Topfi/BetterAuth-Convex-9ui-shadcn-CLI-

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

+ few changes but those changes shouldn't affect the build its mostly changing landing page and avoiding redirect locally it works and opens its using latest react 19 but i assume convex works with 19 A patch update is available for Convex (1.27.1 → 1.27.3) also going to up convex

Clever Tagline•2mo ago

In more than one screenshot, it shows Missing script: "build" Confirm that there's a build script defined in package.json

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

omg you are right "build": "npm run generate && npx vite build", ok added this and building thank you or actually

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

I guess build should be this "build": "npx convex deploy --cmd 'npm run build'",

Clever Tagline•2mo ago

Yeah, that's what it should be

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

oo promising

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

it doom loops

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

i wonder why oo

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

maybe this needs change ok trying with this

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

ok cancelling this

Clever Tagline•2mo ago

I don't have much time, but let me check the one app I've got on Vercel. It's been so long since I deployed it that I forgot how it's configured.

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

thank you https://github.com/genxai/new I pushed latest changes here

Clever Tagline•2mo ago

In Vercel, I've got the override mentioned in the docs: npx convex deploy --cmd 'npm run build' In my project's package.json, it has the build command for the framework I'm using (React Router), which is just react-router build Sorry, but I don't have the time to dig into project files myself. I shouldn't even be in here, but something about the size of this thread intrigued me. 😂 Gotta get back to work

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

oh wow

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

ok cancelled maybe I need to install vercel adapter? this is using react router I remember with tanstack start for example, you would have vercel() adapter

import { defaultClientConditions, defineConfig } from "vite"
import react from "@vitejs/plugin-react"
import tailwindcss from "@tailwindcss/vite"
import path from "path"

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    react({
      babel: {
        plugins: [
          ["babel-plugin-react-compiler", { compilationMode: "infer" }],
        ],
      },
    }),
    tailwindcss(),
  ],
  resolve: {
    alias: {
      "@": path.resolve(__dirname, "./src"),
    },
    conditions: ["@convex-dev/component-source", ...defaultClientConditions],
    dedupe: ["react", "react-dom"],
  },
  test: {
    environment: "jsdom",
  },
})

import { defaultClientConditions, defineConfig } from "vite"
import react from "@vitejs/plugin-react"
import tailwindcss from "@tailwindcss/vite"
import path from "path"

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    react({
      babel: {
        plugins: [
          ["babel-plugin-react-compiler", { compilationMode: "infer" }],
        ],
      },
    }),
    tailwindcss(),
  ],
  resolve: {
    alias: {
      "@": path.resolve(__dirname, "./src"),
    },
    conditions: ["@convex-dev/component-source", ...defaultClientConditions],
    dedupe: ["react", "react-dom"],
  },
  test: {
    environment: "jsdom",
  },
})

although that was with vinxi ok I found issue for infinite loop

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

i used command from the docs

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

but it infinite loops with it "build": "npx convex deploy", trying with this now "build": "vite build", ok this actually, above is wrong too I am not sure why happy path of vercel is not working tho

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago

wild ok i think SITE_URL needs to be in convex dash too https://dev.gen.new yayy

nikiv.devOP•2mo ago
