# NEXTJS_NO_TURBO_CACHE

> **🔒 Permissions Required**: Conformance

This rule prevents the `.next/cache` folder from being added to the Turborepo cache.
This is important because including the `.next/cache` folder in the Turborepo cache can cause
the cache to grow to an excessive size. Vercel also already includes this cache in the build
container cache.

## Examples

The following `turbo.json` config will be caught by this rule for Next.js apps:

```json filename="turbo.json" {5}
{
  "extends": ["//"],
  "pipeline": {
    "build": {
      "outputs": [".next/**"]
    }
  }
}
```

## How to fix

To fix, add `"!.next/cache/**"` to the list of outputs for the task.

```json filename="turbo.json" {5}
{
  "extends": ["//"],
  "pipeline": {
    "build": {
      "outputs": [".next/**", "!.next/cache/**"]
    }
  }
}
```
