Can't resolve 'canvas' on next.js serverless app

See original GitHub issue

What’s the problem

I built a next.js application with serveless option, but simply importing this library it throws this error:

Failed to compile.
ModuleNotFoundError: Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'canvas' in '/.../node_modules/jsdom/lib/jsdom'
> Build error occurred

I already tried to add canvas library but this doesn’t fix the problem and it throws another error.

Step to reproduce

Add to next.config.js:

module.exports = {
  target: 'serverless'
}

Run next build

Basic Info:

  • “isomorphic-dompurify”: “^0.12.0”,
  • “next”: “^10.0.8”,
  • “react”: “^17.0.1”,
  • “react-dom”: “^17.0.1”

This issue could be related to #35 , but i don’t use umijs.

I was also having this issue with SvelteKit using the Node adapter. Installing canvas solved the issue, but it would be nice if there were also a solution for serverless.

@EnricoNapolitan did you find a solution? I’m encountering something similar with Gatsby.
