Here is my system, following directly nextjs-news.

// pages/index.js
import React from 'react'

export default class extends React.Component {
  static async getInitialProps({ query, res }) {
    const { color } = query;
    return { color };
  }

  render() {
    const { color, url } = this.props;
    return (
      <div>
        Hello
      </div>
    );
  }
}

// next.config.js
module.exports = {
  target: 'serverless'
}

// now.json
{
  "version": 2,
  "public": false,
  "builds": [
    { "src": "package.json", "use": "@now/next" },
    { "src": "/static/*", "use": "@now/static" }
  ],
  "routes": [
    { "src": "/static/(.*)", "dest": "/static/$1" },
    { "src": "/(.*)", "dest": "/?color=$1" }
  ]
}

// package.json
{
  "name": "next-news",
  "license": "MIT",
  "dependencies": {
    "isomorphic-fetch": "^2.2.1",
    "ms": "^2.1.1",

  }
}

Expected behavior

It should load the JS but it’s loading HTML instead.

@timneutkens is there more info on this in the docs somewhere? Can’t seem to find anything about the _next route.

Why is this closed? There isn’t any real solution for most people having this issue.

@timneutkens I don’t have a .babelrc file and none of these comments pertain to my issue.

Can this be re-opened and looked into further?

Or at least re-opened so others can post their exact issue. I’m not finding any solution in this thread.

Thanks
