The following build fails with:

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
  Plugin "@netlify/plugin-nextjs" internal error

The problem seems to be there:

next-on-netlify/lib/steps/copyNextAssets.js

Line 11 in 42b1444

join(NEXT_DIST_DIR, "static"),

This specific build does not have a .next/static/ directory, so trying to copy it fails.
I am not sure whether this is valid for .next/static/ not to exist. If it is valid, then this function should not copy anything if .next/static/ does not exist. If it is not valid, this function should throw with an error indicating the site has some configuration issues.

Has this been resolved? I'm also having the exact same issue.

(total noob here (first comment ever!)). I just ran into this as well. I had to manually create a next.config.js file w target set to 'serverless' and run 'npx next build' to create the missing files/folders in the .next folder. Am not getting that plugin error now.

update: It broke again when I added .next to .gitignore and that made me realize that my netlify.toml file didn't have the correct "npm run build" command in it. Doh!

@mrpaulphan @olegrjumin are you still experiencing this issue when using next-on-netlify? if so, can you provide these details about your setup?

1. netlify.toml
2. build command (if your toml build command is an npm script pointing to the actual command)

seems like @fittotweet's issue was resolved by using the correct configuration :)

i don't think it's possible to not have .next/static if you're running next build at any point in your build/deploy process.
