404 on vercel if route to /

[finite pendant]

hey, my app runs fine locally but if deployed to vercel I am getting 404 when I click a link routed to '/'. All other routes are working!

My folder structure is highly dynamic, fetching all pages from contentful and prerendering it. I grouped two static routes with the dynamic into a main group, see below...

Any idea why I this is happening?

I have an updated image of my folder structure:

And here is a screenshot of my build:

well you dont have a / page

What @hollow matrix said -> Put a page.tsx under the app folder

and then? The root page ('/') is supposed to be fetched dynamically... is this not possible?

in the pages directory I could have something like this:

its basically the same except of the (main) group which is considered to be not affecting the URL hierarchy

But it could be the root layout missing on app folder... I am gonna try this out!

hmm no that didnt help

its weird if I refresh the page it shows up

I digged a bit deeper into it and logged out my params on the pages... apparently the slug for the root on localhost is empty but on vercel its 'index'. I check the slug if its empty and then use / to ask contentful for data... if I have a slug '/' in contentful I get the page, but if data is empty I return a 404
