Question About Preview Deployments
Answered

I'm so sorry that this is a vercel question but it involves a Next.js project so I thought I asked.
My pull request always shows a failed build whenever I submit a pull request with little to no information.
However, when I merge into main, it works. is there a way to disable this message on pull requests? We don't use previews or anything complicated just the deployments.

This is about a next js project!
@Asian black bear I don't know if this is an issue with vercel or the way i have my next.js project setup

Your build logs clearly show that your
convex deploy command is failing. If you read the logs you will figure out why, probably missing environment variables.This likely has nothing to do with Next.js

Its only showing me those two red lines at the bottom no other details. Is it because of preview? Is there anyway to just disable preview for my project?
cause when it actually deploys it does not fail
deploys to production* rather than preview

You'll have to figure out why the Convex CLI fails and troubleshoot that.

ah i see. since it only fails on previews, is there a way to just disable that for my next project?

Btw that warning before the error is probably the reason why it fails for safety reasons
Your preview deployment on Vercel trying to deploy to your production Convex deployment.
Chances are you can just fix it by replacing the deploy key with one to a staging environment.

thats why i ask about disabiling previews
let me know if you know about that. if you dont no worries. Just let me know!

Yes, you can disable preview depoyments on Vercel by reading their docs about ignored build steps. In any case, this is no longer on topic for the forum.
