[Bug]: _redirects not working with netlify dev

[naelkhann]

Summary

The _redirects file, which as per the docs should be placed in the /public/ dir is not evaluated when running your application using netlify dev.

When running netlify dev locally to run my app, redirects specified in the _redirects file worked and were evaluated. Now, they do not work.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a _redirects file. Add a valid redirect rule (you need a page defined in pages/ dir so you can redirect). For example:

/hello /{your_valid_page_route}

2. Ensure your _redirects file is inside the /public directory.
3. Run your Next js app using netlify-cli netlify dev.
4. Navigate to the page {local_domain}/hello. The redirect will not work.
