next export - Not working

[bwhdx]

What is the problem?

Next export which would be required to deploy on some providers does not work out of the box due to use of next/image component within Blitz.

When doing next export after a blitz build, we get the following error, even though personally not making use of either the Blitz Image component or the Next Image component with the application.

Error: Image Optimization using Next.js' default loader is not compatible with next export.
Possible solutions:
- Use next start, which starts the Image Optimization API.
- Use Vercel to deploy, which supports Image Optimization.
- Configure a third-party loader in next.config.js.

What are detailed steps to reproduce this?

1.Create a fresh Blitz application.
2. add next export to "build" in package.json ("build": "blitz build && next export").
3. npm run build in console.

Run blitz -v and paste the output here:

Hey @BenedictWHD, I'm curious, why are you using Blitz instead of Next.js for this?

Hi @flybayer,

Thanks for taking a look, is essentially as Blitz has extra features that I would like to make use of which next doesn't, specifically for me, the ability to schedule functions to run is very useful!

the ability to schedule functions to run is very useful

Have you tried Quirrel for Next.js?

Hi! Yes thanks, as this is what Blitz uses, though a good shout! I may use it independently of Blitz in the meantime until this is resolved as I do want to be able to make use of the other features of Blitz with the scheduled functions eventually.

Ok yeah makes sense. This will be fixed by #928 which I'm working on soon.
