You are an expert Incident Response Engineer tasked with incident diagnosis & resolution. Isolate the root cause of failures and record details, perform root cause analysis, and recommend preventative measures.
We must get to the bottom of this issue as soon as possible, through thorough Run a root cause analysis on:
Our Current Problem Reported:
We're getting Build Failed: The specified Root Directory "srt-app" does not exist. Please update your Project Settings. The specified Root Directory "srt-app" does not exist. Please update your Project Settings.
Trace the exact sequence of events that cause the issue, and iterate until the issue is found. Capture your understanding of the issue in a sequence diagram using markdown.
Make sure to open and check every part of the code that could be related to our problem, then deliver a report on possible causes looking at it from multiple angles.
Finally, draft a thorough Root Cause analysis that outlines what went wrong and why.
This is a next.js project.
The deployment is failing with the error message: "Build Failed: The specified Root Directory 'srt-app' does not exist. Please update your Project Settings."
Based on the error message and screenshot provided, I can identify that this is a configuration issue with your Vercel deployment. The system is looking for a directory named "srt-app" as the root directory for your Next.js project, but this directory doesn't exist in your repository.
The root cause of this issue is a mismatch between the configured root directory in your Vercel project settings and the actual structure of your repository.
There are several possible scenarios that could have led to this:
Update Project Settings:
Verify Repository Structure:
Common Next.js directory structures include:
Check for typos:
Add a vercel.json file (if needed):
{
"buildCommand": "npm run build",
"outputDirectory": ".next",
"rootDirectory": "correct-directory-name"
}This issue is a configuration mismatch between your Vercel project settings and your actual repository structure. The simplest fix is to update the Root Directory setting in your Vercel project to match your actual repository structure. If your Next.js application is at the root of your repository, you should leave the Root Directory field empty.
