Cursor build rescue

Cursor build output breaks on the production server

Walkthrough

1. 01

   Compare local and production build output

   Find what differs between the local build and the server build.

   • Check the build output directory structure on both environments.
   • Compare the build logs for warnings or errors.
   • Verify the output directory matches what the server expects.
2. 02

   Fix the build configuration

   Align the build settings between local and production.

   • Ensure the same Node version and package manager on both sides.
   • Check for local-only dependencies that are not in package.json.
   • Set the correct output directory in the server config.
3. 03

   Rebuild and deploy

   Run a clean production build and verify the output.

   • Clear any cached build artifacts on the server.
   • Run a fresh build with production env vars.
   • Verify all pages and API routes respond correctly.
