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•this hour

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

nikiv.devOP•this hour

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

jamwt•this hour

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

nikiv.devOP•this hour

ok lovely, comitting

jamwt•this hour

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

nikiv.devOP•this hour

thanks for reply

jamwt•this hour

no problem

nikiv.devOP•this hour

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

nikiv.devOP•this hour

its there actually

nikiv.devOP•this hour

vercel doesn't see it, it seems ohh

Sara•this hour

you need to push to github first..

nikiv.devOP•this hour

@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•this hour

its not that many files

nikiv.devOP•this hour

ok checking what it means

nikiv.devOP•this hour

or this is prob off

nikiv.devOP•this hour

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

nikiv.devOP•this hour

maybe i need env here

jamwt•this hour

no, the environment variable gets set in the vercel environment

nikiv.devOP•this hour

ok i set these

jamwt•this hour

see step 4 CONVEX_DEPLOY_KEY

nikiv.devOP•this hour

p.s. the project runs locally thats with deploy_key

Sara•this hour

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

nikiv.devOP•this hour

a strange @Topf doesn't have a bulid command

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•this hour

ok lets see

nikiv.devOP•this hour

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

nikiv.devOP•this hour

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

Sara•this hour

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

nikiv.devOP•this hour

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

nikiv.devOP•this hour

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

nikiv.devOP•this hour

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

nikiv.devOP•this hour

in vercel to see why build fails in vercel

nikiv.devOP•this hour

oh interesting it generated smth new

nikiv.devOP•this hour

going to push this mby thats the issue

nikiv.devOP•this hour

yea same issue

Sara•this hour

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

nikiv.devOP•this hour

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

Sara•this hour

did AI write the code?

nikiv.devOP•this hour

ok trying to open that log file

nikiv.devOP•this hour

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

nikiv.devOP•this hour

+ 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•this hour

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

nikiv.devOP•this hour

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

nikiv.devOP•this hour

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

Clever Tagline•this hour

Yeah, that's what it should be

nikiv.devOP•this hour

oo promising

nikiv.devOP•this hour

it doom loops

nikiv.devOP•this hour

i wonder why oo

nikiv.devOP•this hour

maybe this needs change ok trying with this

nikiv.devOP•this hour

ok cancelling this

Clever Tagline•this hour

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•this hour

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

Clever Tagline•this hour

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•23h ago

oh wow

nikiv.devOP•23h 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•23h ago

i used command from the docs

nikiv.devOP•23h 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•23h ago

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

nikiv.devOP•23h ago
