Example

No response

for me, 'next build' does not generate 'BUILD_ID' file randomly. it happens in AWS CodeBuild and generated .next folder does not have BUILD_ID file, so server deploy fails.
(CodeBuild build component get node 18.18.2 installed and then download files from our Git repository directly)

[prunusnira]

after some investigation, we found that it's RAM shortage.
we used 3GB / 2vCPU for AWS CodeBuild, and it caused several ENOMEM error and forced SIGKILL during build.
even we succeed to build, there was no BUILD_ID file

we increased RAM to 7GB model, and problem fixed.

idk which system are you using, but hope it helps

[rightalign-io]

how did you increase ram - you mean adding another ram card?
I tested on 8gig and it still breaks

Same issue here and thanks to this info I solved the same issue (server not starting because .next/BUILD_ID missing) for an on-premise Jenkins build by adding NODE_OPTIONS in front of npm run build:
NODE_OPTIONS=--max_old_space_size=4096 npm run build. The build log didn't really indicate anything about dying because of memory, but thanks for documenting this here :)

In my case the problem has gone when I included package-lock.json in docker container. Error was the same but when running inside docker container.
