I created a UI using v0.dev which has a few .tsx files. Uploaded it to a git project and trying to run it on vercel.

If I choose "other" frameworks in settings, the deploy goes through - but when I open the app the files are downloaded to the browser as .dms files.

If I choose "Next.js" framework in settings, I get this deployment error

Hey @hp-heli-uscom. Are you able to share the project or chat here?


Hp Heli Uscom (@hp-heli-uscom) · 2024-10-30

thanks. How do I privately share the project? I am able to now build it. I was missing the config files. I thought the vercel platform would add them. I am now typing to see why my css wont load.

I hope you already found a solution. If not, I have a few ideas.

- Check your browser's dev tools for errors and other clues about why the styles are missing. There could be a 404 on a CSS file, an error logged in the console, or other clues in the page source.
- Append the [special path](https://vercel.com/docs/deployments/build-features#special-paths) `/_src` to your deployment and check the **Source** and **Output** to verify the CSS file exists where you expected it.
- Use the [Debugging 404 Errors](https://community.vercel.com/t/debugging-404-errors/437) tips to investigate further.
