# Vercel Workflows runs stuck in pending state when using NestJS

I am using `NestJS`.  
All `Vercel Workflows` calls are stuck in a `pending` state.

@stanb Can you share some more information about your setup and provide a minimal reproduction example? Feel free to also create a github issue on https://github.com/vercel/workflow and tag me (@vaguelyserious) on it, so we can automatically cross-link any PRs for fixes we might do

I have a monorepo, nestjs backend is at apps/backend.
I deploy through CI via: vc pull + vc build + vc deploy
Locally, all workflows are running just fine, but on vercel they are just stuck in pending state w/o any error logs.
For local vc build, I inpect .workflow files manually and they seems okay: i.e. paths are correct.

One thing though: because vercel doesn’t pick up root-level .nestjs/workflow files, I have to build them into dist/workflow.

Creating minimal example will take time, but I’m on it.

@stanb Thanks, a minimal repro would allow me to fix this quickly. In the meantime, can you share a few run IDs for runs that are stuck for you?

here is minimal example, same behavior
cutsom script is needed to customize workflow build step

Thank you @stanb . Tracking this in [\[nest\] Fix Vercel build output when using NextLocalBuilder](https://github.com/vercel/workflow/pull/1472)

@stanb  We decided to drop experimental support for NestJS in order to focus our efforts on other features. You can follow [this PR](https://github.com/vercel/workflow/pull/1472) for eventual changes to support NestJS again on Vercel in a future release
