Firebase example: couldn't find a `pages` directory

[matchatype]

Bug report

My project has a custom structure but so far it worked pretty well. Since I updated to v9.0.7 I get this error:

Error: > Couldn't find a pagesdirectory. Please create one under the project root at Object.findPagesDir [...]

So far running next src/app worked just fine. Is there anything different I should do now?

Hi, I'm not able to reproduce this with a minimal repro of the above structure. Can you provide more detailed steps to reproduce? Is the current working directory you're running Next.js from the project root?

[matchatype]

@ijjk the project structure is very similar to the with-firebase-hosting example. Yes, I'm running npm run serve from the project root.

Quick note: I can run next as next src/app too, or npm run dev according to my scripts in the screenshot on default port 3000, it is the built project that will crash: npm run serve, which runs fine till v9.0.6.

[edit]
Sorry, it will take you to setup a firebase project, but the example repo will reproduce the issue.

Can confirm it's an issue in 9.0.7 when using src/pages for production builds.

same problem for me trying to deploy to firebase
with nextjs 9.0.2 seems to work

I'm seeing this too, arising from a docker config that starts the app from a few directories above the app directory (for which I've previously set the dir option on the next() constructor), while also having deleted the source pages directory before building my final docker stage.

As a workaround, it appears that I can literally mkdir pages in my app directory and everything works without having to make any other changes. Seems like it's a really shallow check and then things proceed with the actual built files as before.
