Deploy serverless functions without a static site

[tafelito]

I'm trying to deploy a bunch of serverless functions to Zeit Now without having any static site, just the node.js functions. This was possible before but since latest version I'm having a few issues. When I tried to deploy for the first time, it was asking for a public directory. Since I don't have a static site, I don't have a public dir. So I went to the project settings and set my dist folder as output. That allowed me to do the deploy. But now if I try to run now dev, it will throw the same error No Output Directory named "public" found after the Build completed. You can configure the Output Directory in your project settings.

How can I fix this?

This is the default behavior of Zero Config. You have a few choices:

• Move "package.json" inside the api/ folder.
• Do a "no-op" in your build command: mkdir public.
• Use a single index.html and set a build command like mkdir public && mv index.html public/

Let us know how it goes.
