Trying to setup NextJs JSS and ran only the below simple commands and it fails with below error for the 4th command but this folder/files doesn't exist. None of the below 4 commands creates those files. What am I missing here?

  1. npx create-sitecore-jss
  2. jss setup
  3. jss deploy config
  4. jss deploy app -c -d

enter image description here

Error generating manifest Error: Unable to load manifest require D:\Sitecore\POC_Headless\nextjs\sitecore\definitions\config.js: Error: Cannot find module 'D:\Sitecore\POC_Headless\nextjs\sitecore\definitions\config.js'

  • Did you able to see the config files under zzz folder? After running the command jss deploy config?

  • can you check if you are in the right folder to run the command? I mean try running the deploy command under the folder that contains few folders and files. Like .generated, .next, data, node_modules etc?

  • @SumitBhatia the command deploy is being run in the root folder itself as you can see in the above snapshot in the description. It is looking for a file \sitecore\definitions\config.js that doesn't exist so obviously one of the above command is expected to create these files or any other command is required before deploy command

  • Yes can you try the installation in another folder and check again?

As per the Sitecore documentation, applications built with JSS for Next.js are deployed differently than apps built with JSS for React, Angular, and Vue.js. The document states the following.

Specifically, when working with JSS for Next.js remember the following:

  • Do not use the JSS CLI commands jss deploy app or jss deploy files.

  • Use jss deploy items for code-first item import.

  • You do not have to configure a sitecoreDistPath in your package.json file.

  • The Link and RichText field helper components support client-side routing out of the box.

  • If you add .graphql files to your solution or make changes to your Sitecore data model (templates), you must update GraphQL introspection.

  • The Next.js app is configured to proxy Sitecore media requests. Therefore, the Layout Service excludes server URLs.

For more information follow this document.

  • Please recheck the above picture in the description, the instruction of this command "jss deploy app -c -d" is coming from the latest next js and latest jss version. It fails. See the suggestio provided while app creation by sitecore itself explicitly

  • The above description is also given in the Sitecore docs. If that is the case then I think a Sitecore support ticket would be a great option to identify the issue. Thanks
