Next.js and Vercel - Error! No Output Directory named "dist" found

I'm trying to setup Sanity + NextJS with Vercel. I've read the tutorial and I am able to deploy, however, in the Vercel build step, I run into an error stating
and the build fails.

In this repo however
https://github.com/sanity-io/sanity-nextjs-vercel-example there also is no /dist folder and /dist is also ignored via .gitignore. I am know wondering if I should in fact run

sanity build

to generate an output folder or if there is another way.
Thank you in advance!

In your Studio, can you double check that your

package.json

has

"build": "sanity build",

under the scripts section? Then, try running

npm run build

from to see if you get any errors.

There was my mistake! I had

"build": "sanity build public -y"

in my code, as stated in the Vercel documentation https://vercel.com/guides/deploying-sanity-studio-with-vercel . Thanks for clearing that up!

Awesome! Looks like we may have to make a change to that starter.
