404 on _next assets after deploying to Github Pages - reactjs

Question

I am trying to deploy my next app to gh pages but only the index and 404 pages are displaying. All other pages, images, js and css files are returning a 404 error - everything inside the _next folder.
After some research, I found a popular solution to this issue was adding a .nojekyll file into the output folder to prevent jekyll from ignoring files prefixed with _ which I've tried but the files remain missing.
Here is my gh action to building and deploy the app -
name: Deploy Next.js site to Pages
on:
# Runs on pushes targeting the default branch
push:
branches: ["main"]
# Allows you to run this workflow manually from the Actions tab
workflow_dispatch:

exit 0
elif [ -f "${{ github.workspace }}/docs/package.json" ]; then
echo "::set-output name=manager::npm"

exit 0
else
echo "Unable to determine packager manager"
exit 1

I've checked the artifact that gets deployed and all intended files are there.
What am I missing here?

Answer 1

in the public folder add file .nojekyll
then in package.json add
"deploy": "gh-pages -d dist -t true"
then run this command
yarn generate
yarn deploy
this file .nojekyll will be copied in the dist folder
I using nuxt app but the same idea
thanks
