Deploying Next JS on Vercel

I’m having some issues with setting up a fresh setup of nextjs + sanity + vercel. I’ve got the build working locally and its able to find the static paths but when i run a deploy through vercel i get the following:
21:00:59.874  	> Build error occurred
21:00:59.876  	Error: Invalid `paths` value returned from getStaticPaths in /[slug].
21:00:59.876  	`paths` must be an array of strings or objects of shape { params: [key: string]: string }
21:00:59.877  	    at buildStaticPaths (/vercel/workpath0/node_modules/next/dist/build/utils.js:16:1065)
21:00:59.877  	    at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:97:5)
21:00:59.877  	    at async Object.isPageStatic (/vercel/workpath0/node_modules/next/dist/build/utils.js:26:612) {
21:00:59.877  	  type: 'Error'
21:00:59.877  	}
Would anyone know why this would happen? I’m think it may be some sort of permission thing for vercel to access sanity potentially? Thanks in advance!

are you talking to the prodution dataset?can you verify it’s set to public?

i would also just console.log(paths) to see whats happening
Jan 20, 2021, 10:36 AM
it is set to public, I’ll also console log paths

export async function getStaticProps ({ params = {}, preview = false }) {
  const { slug } = params
  const { page: pageData } = await getClient(preview).fetch(query, {
    slug
  })

  return {
    props: { preview, pageData, slug }
  }
}

export async function getStaticPaths () {
  const routes = await getClient()
    .fetch(`*[_type == "route" && defined(slug.current)]{
    "params": {"slug": slug.current}
  }`)

  return {
    paths: routes || null,
    fallback: true
  }
}
Heres the function in question also with its matching static props

After console logging 
routes
just before the return its currently just undefined

Figured it out, after console logging the getClient I noticed by project ID wasn’t correct but the reason why i didnt have the issue locally was because my environment variables setup in vercel were wrong so when they we’re being used thats when i ran into this issue
