heroku/pack gets stuck

Trying to build my Next.js client here and it’s been stuck like this for days. I’m unable to progress past the build phase even after re-creating the app or even changing the pack number.

How long does that last? This part of the Heroku’s pack process isn’t very helpful, it takes that builpack and uses it to build a base image. It can take a shocking amount of time and give you no output.

For nextjs, you might consider switching to a Dockerfile. It’ll be quicker and less error prone. Deployment | Next.js
