404 error returned from files served from public folder

[bestuiexperience]

With Next JS 9.4.0, I am getting the following error for files served from the public folder:

error [index.js]: Path: images/xxx.svg | Error: Unable to resolve path /images/xxx.svg.
Is any additional configuration needed to serve up files from the public folder or is this a bug in Next JS?

what's your folder structure like?
Do you have a picture? and whats your code like?
How do you access it?
The default configuration should work.

Could it be a file permission issue?

I am using an index.js file in my application. In order tol solve the problem I had to do this. I am not sure why I had to escape all of those characters.

server.get(//..(.)/, (req, res) => {
logger.debug(files req.path: ${req.path});
return handle(req, res);
});
