Create-Next-App (Next.js) Build Failure --> Syntax Error: Unexpected token "?"

Developers Cloudflare Pages

Hi

I keep getting the same error all the time. I uninstalled node.js on my laptop and reinstalled -v16.9 then ran “create-next-app”, then pushed the code to github and then try to run the project on Cloudflare using the Next.js (static). I did not change any of the settings and still I get this same error.

Please help

I’ve got a spare domain I can try these steps with. Please don’t delete this post in the meantime, or if you do find a solution, or if the parameters of your question change considerably, please post back to update. :slight_smile:

I’ll wait for your response then :slight_smile:

You probably need to set a NODE_VERSION environment variable in the project to the version of Node you’re using (currently max of 17, this will be addressed soon).

Ah, good call @i40west !
I had not been able to replicate this error, and this seems like something that I did without thinking when going through the docs. When I remove this variable, I get the error.
