node.js next.js node-modules web-hosting plesk

"const defaultCommand = “dev”; " not found in "node_modules/.bin/next" In Plesk

I deployed my Next.js project on Plesk following the steps in this link. https://medium.com/@keithchasen/how-to-set-up-your-next-js-app-on-plesk-server-7d8d247a2db2

There's a step where I need to edit

node_modules/.bin/next

and change

const defaultCommand = “dev”

const defaultCommand = “start”

However, when I checked the next file, it doesn't show const defaultCommand = “dev” but instead appears differently.

Below is code show in node_modules/.bin/next

I'm unsure how to proceed. Note that I don't have SSH access granted by Plesk.

I need my project to be operational. Previously, I followed steps to change dev to start as per the link provided, but this time, I couldn't make the change from dev to start at all.

Solution

First

Edit line 81-83

program.command("dev", {
    isDefault: true
}).description("Starts Next.js in development mode with hot-code reloading, error reporting, and more.").argument("[directory]", `A

isDefault to false

Second

program.command("start", {
    isDefault: true
}).description("Starts Next.js in production mode. The application should be compiled with `next build`

add

{
    isDefault: true
}
