I'm hitting similar issue after upgrading to Node v18. File path works locally but on Vercel, it's unable to find the file.

I'm having the same issue on 13.4.2. A workaround is to, after the .next directory has been emptied, create an empty server/app directory by the time that it is required in the build process. This workaround was mentioned in this issue: #44120
