Opening a web page that points to an app hosted on Vercel, downloads a file instead of opening the app

[akoskm]

Hi!

Something very weird is going on with my website https://www.beginneritjobs.com.

When I type the address in the browser's search bar or click the link in my social profiles, it initiates a download instead of opening the page.

I have no idea what's causing this.

The file seems to be a special format that, at first sight, contains some information about my site - not the Google Tag manager that I have installed in

Any idea what's going on?

That looks like server components props being downloaded... that's very strange... A bit scary how it auto-downloads.

How are you hosting, and structuring your site? Middleware? redirects/rewrites?

[akoskm]

Oh, there's been a misunderstanding, I guess.

So this will stop working after some time, I'm 100% sure. I didn't change anything in my setup.

EDIT: could you check it now, I believe it's broken again.

[icyJoseph]

Still seems to work fine.

[akoskm]

Ha! Got it

Here's how it looks like when I open it from my Twitter profile

Appreciate you help @icyJoseph 🙇 looks like this was an issue that has been fixed!

[akoskm]

This was fixed in v13.0.4 #42834 (comment).

[SaraswatAnushka]

this is currently happening to my site, I don't know what to do
this is the link https://churn-prediction-eda.vercel.app/
and it downloads this file from wsgi import app
please help

[akoskm]

Indeed. Which Next.js are you using currently? Have you tried with the version that worked for me?

[SaraswatAnushka]

um this is a python project, from my end i have not used next js or any javascript just 1 simple index.html file that takes user input and sends it to the flask app (or python file, i don't know what to call it)

[akoskm]

this discussion is for next.js

[SaraswatAnushka]

okay sorry

[akoskm]

No worries. Since the issue is clearly reproducible, I'd try to find help in some Vercel communities. Looks like they also have Discussions: https://github.com/vercel/vercel/discussions

I'm facing the same issue, too. When I clicked on my deployed domain, it downloaded the file instead of opening the URL link.
I'm deploying my React + Vite project.

Can anyone please help me with this issue? I'm a noob in varcel deploying.
Thanks
