No Cache Detected

Why This Error Occurred

A Next.js build was triggered in a continuous integration environment, but no cache was detected.

This results in slower builds and can hurt Next.js' persistent caching of client-side bundles across builds.

Possible Ways to Fix It

Note: If this is a new project, or being built for the first time in your CI, you can ignore this error. However, you'll want to make sure it doesn't continue to happen and fix it if it does!

Configure Next.js' cache to be persisted across builds. Next.js stores its cache in the .next/cache directory.

Storing this folder across builds varies by CI provider. We've provided a list of a few common providers below.

ZEIT Now

Next.js caching is automatically configured for you. There's no action required on your part.

CircleCI

Edit your save_cache step in .circleci/config.yml to include .next/cache:

steps:
  - save_cache:
      key: dependency-cache-{{ checksum "yarn.lock" }}
      paths:
        - ./node_modules
        - ./.next/cache

If you do not have a save_cache key, please follow CircleCI's documentation on setting up build caching.

Travis CI

Add or merge the following into your .travis.yml:

cache:
  directories:
    - $HOME/.cache/yarn
    - node_modules
    - .next/cache

GitLab CI

Add or merge the following into your .gitlab-ci.yml:

cache:
  key: ${CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG}
  paths:
    - node_modules/
    - .next/cache/

Netlify CI

It is not possible to cache custom build files on Netlify. Please contact their support and request they support this behavior.

You can investigate using a 3rd party solution (e.g. cache-me-outside) to manually cache the Next.js output.

AWS CodeBuild

Add (or merge in) the following to your buildspec.yml:

cache:
  paths:
    - 'node_modules/**/*' # Cache `node_modules` for faster `yarn` or `npm i`
    - '.next/cache/**/*' # Cache Next.js for faster application rebuilds

GitHub Actions

Using GitHub's actions/cache, add the following step in your workflow file:

uses: actions/cache@v1
with:
  path: ${{ github.workspace }}/.next/cache
  key: ${{ runner.os }}-nextjs-${{ hashFiles('**/package-lock.json') }}

Bitbucket Pipelines

Add or merge the following into your bitbucket-pipelines.yml at the top level (same level as pipelines):

definitions:
  caches:
    nextcache: .next/cache

Then reference it in the caches section of your pipeline's step:

- step:
    name: your_step_name
    caches:
      - node
      - nextcache
