Hi all,

In my next.js app I have a dependency that includes binaries that need to be present at runtime when an api handler is invoked. Specifically, the dependency is ffmpeg-static.

When running locally, the binary is present under its node_modules directory (specifically as node_modules/.pnpm/ffmpeg-static@5.2.0/node_modules/ffmpeg-static/ffmpeg).

However, when running on Vercel, the binary is absent, with the node_modules subdirectory including only index.js and package.json.

I don't know whether the binary is being filtered out or not installed at all. I have tried various incantations of outputFileTracingIncludes in nextConfig.experimental with no luck , such as:

const nextConfig = {
  //...
  experimental: {
    serverComponentsExternalPackages: ['ffmpeg-static', 'fluent-ffmpeg'],
    outputFileTracingIncludes: {
      '/api/public/myapi/*': ['**/ffmpeg-static*/**/*'],
    },
  },
  //...
};

Any help very much appreciated!!
