To Reproduce

next.config.js

/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */

const withNextra = require('nextra')({
  theme: 'nextra-theme-docs',
  themeConfig: './theme.config.jsx',
})

let withBundleAnalyzer = require('@next/bundle-analyzer')({
  enabled: process.env.ANALYZE === 'true',
})

const nextConfig = {
  reactStrictMode: true,
  experimental: {
    appDir: true,
  },
  images: {
    unoptimized: true,
  },
  output: 'export',
}

if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
  module.exports = withNextra(nextConfig)
} else if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
  module.exports = withBundleAnalyzer(withNextra(nextConfig))
}

1. Create a Nextra project with Next.js (currently using Nextra@2.4.2)
2. Run yarn build to compile as a static site (via output: 'export' in next.config.js)
3. Serve site via npx serve@latest out

Describe the Bug

import Link from 'next/link';

The <Link href="/docs" /> components I'm using redirect to "/docs.txt", not "/docs" for some reason. It only happens on static export as well (it's fine when I modify my next.config.js to be a non-static export).

Similar to this: #48414 except I'm using Nextra@2.4.2 and they're using github pages.

Expected Behavior

Expect it to go to "/docs"

Which browser are you using? (if relevant)

No response

How are you deploying your application? (if relevant)

npx serve@latest out

I'm having trouble with this stuff too.

I also did output: "export" like you do.

I'm waiting the soluition ;(

[dhruvilxcode]

it doesn't work either for export: standalone

If anyone can suggest or provide fix would be good!

[dhruvilxcode]

ok i found the fix,
i downgraded next version to 13.2

npm i next@13.2

and it worked well for me.

[MangoQuiz]

ok i found the fix, i downgraded next version to 13.2

npm i next@13.2

and it worked well for me.

Oh GOD!
I fixed it too.
I downgraded it version to "13.2.0"

Thanks.

@hariria Nexta doesn't support App Router / output: 'export' yet.

@MangoQuiz the reason it breaks for you is because you're using output: 'export' incorrectly. You can't use next start when using output: 'export'. You have to use a static file server instead.
If you're using next start it's better to not add output: 'export' to next.config.js. Static pages are already the default.

@dhruvilxcode output: 'standalone' is a different feature, we're working on a fix here: #49116

[MangoQuiz]

@timneutkens Thank you for replying! I'm kinda newbie in web development.

If you don't mind me asking, how can I use a static file server in details? Remove output: 'export' after build it? or next build and next start without output: 'export'

[dhruvilxcode]

@timneutkens even without standalone export feature, it's not working for that too.

Note: I am using middleware with appDir enabled.

[timneutkens]

Please open a new issue with a complete reproduction 🙏

#49130

[thangcmo]

ok i found the fix, i downgraded next version to 13.2

npm i next@13.2

and it worked well for me.

I fixed it too.
I downgraded it version to "13.2.3"

[leonahliang90]

even have downgraded to version 13.2.3, it might work for this Link href, but anything below 13.3 version would not have export feature ready if your appDir is true.

experimental: {
    appDir: true,
  },

either wait for official fix or change from App Router to Page Router

@hariria Nexta doesn't support App Router / output: 'export' yet.

I have same problem here when I try to deploy SPA project(output: 'export' ) to Nginx, does Nextjs team have any plan to support it?

[Afellman]

I have this issue using router.push with output: "export". When I try to navigate to home with router.push("/") it tries to fetch a .txt file...

[batazor]

I confirm, this is a very strange behavior, I see that in the code for some reason make the concatenation of the path with .txt maybe we can remove it?

[deyvisonborges]

This script solves your problem.
Replace the start command with:

package.json

{
  "start": "npx serve ./build/"
}

[batazor]

@deyvisonborges I use export and my docker image has only nginx, I can't run npx, node, etc

[dscafati]

This is fixed at least on 13.4.7, could you all please check that?

[htakemoto]

I confirmed that the version 13.4.7 fixed the link issue with output: 'export' in next.config.js, however, if the url path is longer than 56 chars, the link is cut in the middle.

[timneutkens]

This issue was indeed fixed in this PR: https://github.com/vercel/next.js/pull/50974/files#diff-7b6239af735eba0c401e1a0db1a04dd4575c19a031934f02d128cf3ac813757bR73-R81

@htakemoto happy to take a look at what you're running into, but can't reproduce it. Can you open a new issue that explains how to reproduce it? Thanks!
