While working on a recent Sitecore XM Cloud project, I ran into a frustrating issue when trying to build my Next.js app locally using pnpm run build. No matter what I tried, the build kept failing with a 60-second timeout. The error message always began with:
⚠ Sending SIGTERM signal to Next.js build worker due to timeout of 60 seconds. Subsequent errors may be a result of the worker exiting.
If you’ve encountered this error and are stuck like I was — don’t worry. In this post, I’ll walk you through what’s causing it and how to fix it.
