Description
### What is the problem?
Currently the blitz cli doesn't recognize a customer server file found in the `src` directory, but works when placed in the root.
### Where to update
`packages/blitz/src/cli/utils/next-utils.ts` needs to be updated:
```ts
export function getCustomServerPath() {
const projectRoot = getProjectRootSync()
let serverPath = path.resolve(path.join(projectRoot, "server.ts"))
if (existsSync(serverPath)) return serverPath
serverPath = path.resolve(path.join(projectRoot, "server.js"))
if (existsSync(serverPath)) return serverPath
serverPath = path.resolve(path.join(projectRoot, "server/index.ts"))
if (existsSync(serverPath)) return serverPath
serverPath = path.resolve(path.join(projectRoot, "server/index.js"))
if (existsSync(serverPath)) return serverPath
throw new Error("Unable to find custom server")
}
```
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start in packages/blitz/src/cli/utils/next-utils.ts at getCustomServerPath(), comparing the project-root paths it checks with the reported src-directory case. Verify that a custom server located under src is recognized while existing root and server/index paths continue to work; the issue does not name a test file or command.
