Additional context

No response

You probably have something wrong in "Deploy via git to cloudflare".

Closing until you add more details

[titouv]

Here is more detail.

I run the command

npm create cloudflare@latest -- my-next-app --framework=next --platform=workers

I then push the git initialized repo straight to a remote on github.
Here is the public github repo used in the rest of the process
https://github.com/titouv/nextjs-cloudflare-workers-example

I then open Cloudflare and follow this list of action

• Click on Workers & Pages
• Click on create
• Choose Workers
• Import the repo using the Github remote

I then see the automatic build configuration from Cloudflare without any extra config.

This first build errors with the error detailed in the description of the issue.

(if I need to add something and misread the docs my bad of course)

[vicb]

@titouv Thanks for adding details.

Could you please try to change the build command from npx wrangler deploy to npm run deploy?

[titouv]

Sorry for the issue, it needed solve my deployment issue.

This is maybe something that could be added in the docs because I could not find any mention of this in the get started of the OpenNext docs or in the example page.

[vicb]

Sorry for the issue, it needed solve my deployment issue.

No need to be sorry.
I closed the issue because there was not enough details on the initial report to debug it. Adding more details helped.

If changing the build command help, we will add it to the docs add it is valuable for other users.

Re-opening until the docs are updated
