Error: The Root Directory setting is not supported for @frontity/now

Hi,

Been running a Vercel monorepo that includes frontity installation in one folder and wp in the other.
I am getting the above error.
Is it true that the now-builder doesn’t support the root directory setting and if so what would it entail to create a PR addressing this?

P.S. could someone (mod) please change my username to b-bot as it is not editable in settings.

Hi @b-bot

I’ve changed your username as requested. I’ve asked a member of our dev team to advise on your Vercel issue. We should be able to get back to you on that shortly.

If your Frontity project is in a different folder, you can do this:

github.com

luisherranz/next-and-frontity/blob/master/now.json

{
  "version": 2,
  "builds": [
    {
      "src": "package.json",
      "use": "@now/next"
    },
    {
      "src": "blog/package.json",
      "use": "@frontity/now"
    }
  ]
}

Also, make sure to configure your subdirectory setting both in Frontity and WordPress:

github.com

luisherranz/next-and-frontity/blob/master/blog/frontity.settings.js#L30-L37


  name: "@frontity/wp-source",
  state: {
    source: {
      api: "https://test.frontity.io/wp-json",
      subdirectory: "blog"
    }
  }
},

Let us know if that solves your question.
