turborepo v2 express with nextjs app

[cSarcasme]

Summary

Hi i need little help with turborepo 2

i have create a monorepo with express and pug for backend and for my frontend i use nextjs.
The model i have use for do tat is kitchen-sink.
And i have keep just the express and nextjs part.
Locally no issue when i do turbo run dev my both website work nice.

But when i deploy i have that error, it about the change of pipeline to tasks in the v2 of turborepo and on vercel have that issue

Error: turbo_json_parse_error
  x Found an unknown key `tasks`.
   ,-[4:1]
 4 |     "globalEnv": ["PORT"],
 5 |     "tasks": {
   :     ^^^^^^^
 6 |         "build": {
   `----
Error: Command "turbo run build" exited with 1

And this is how is configure my root turbo.json

{
	"$schema": "https://turbo.build/schema.json",
	"globalDependencies": ["**/.env.*local"],
	"globalEnv": ["PORT"],
	"tasks": {
		"build": {
			"dependsOn": ["^build"]
		},
		"test": {
			"outputs": ["coverage/**"],
			"dependsOn": []
		},
		"lint": {
			"dependsOn": ["^build"]
		},
		"typecheck": {
			"dependsOn": ["^build"]
		},
		"dev": {
			"dependsOn": ["^build"],
			"cache": false,
			"persistent": true
		},
		"clean": {
			"cache": false
		}
	}
}

this the tubo.json of my frontend folder so nextjs app.

{
	"extends": ["//"],
	"tasks": {
		"build": {
			"outputs": [".next/**", "!.next/cache/**"]
		}
	}
}

And this the turbo.json of my folder backend where i have express and pug.

{
	"extends": ["//"],
	"tasks": {
		"build": {
			"outputs": ["dist/**"]
		}
	}
}

I have look to find a solution i have see some people have the same error but they use docker me don't use docker it is on vercel and i don't find a solution for that.

If you need to see other file tell me.

I thank you by advance for any help you will give me thanks.

Have you installed turbo as a devDependency into your root package.json?

i have fin the solution:

I have find the solution

First i have done a new instal with the docker example with express and nextjs.

After the root turbo.json need a change because it is always writte pipeline and the v2 of turbo dont accept pipeline, so change pipeline to tasks.

like that:

{
    "$schema": "https://turbo.build/schema.json",
    "globalDependencies": ["**/.env.*local"],
    "globalEnv": ["PORT"],
    "tasks": {
        "build": {
            "outputs": ["dist/**", ".next/**", "!.next/cache/**", "public/dist/**"],
            "dependsOn": ["^build"],
            "env": ["NEXT_PUBLIC_API_HOST"]
        },
        "test": {
            "outputs": ["coverage/**"],
            "dependsOn": []
        },
        "lint": {
            "dependsOn": ["^build"]
        },
        "dev": {
            "cache": false,
            "persistent": true
        },
        "clean": {
            "cache": false
        }
    }
}

After i ha the same like kitchen sync. and for find the solution i have move turbo from devdepedencies todepedencises like that.

{
    "name": "with-docker",
    "version": "0.0.0",
    "private": true,
    "workspaces": [
        "apps/*",
        "packages/*"
    ],
    "scripts": {
        "build": "turbo run build",
        "clean": "turbo run clean",
        "dev": "turbo run dev",
        "format": "prettier --write \"**/*.{ts,tsx,md}\"",
        "lint": "turbo run lint",
        "test": "turbo run test"
    },
    "dependencies": {
        "turbo": "^2.0.4"
    },
    "devDependencies": {
        "@repo/eslint-config": "*",
        "prettier": "^3.2.5"
    },
```

Also before i had use npm i have change to yarn.

And then i have delete roo node modules and lock package.json

And the done a new yarn install


After deploy and finally no error it work


I hope it will help other people i have loose lot of time of that

Have a nice day

The url for my backend need to be foo.com/admin for example it is my express server with pug and my road api who communicate with the frontend for mongodb.

How i configure my file for do that i dont find a good answer to that.

The phrase you're looking for is "multi-zones". This doc can help with that: https://vercel.com/guides/how-can-i-serve-multiple-projects-under-a-single-domain

this doesn't work with the latest 14.x my dude.

I can confirm this works, since this is how vercel.com runs today. Here's a blog post about us using this technique and a template as well.

Hope that helps!
