Reproduction

Stackblitz link: https://stackblitz.com/edit/github-fchd76?devtoolsheight=33&file=THEBUG.md

⚠️ But the error is not visible in Stackblitz, because it doesn’t run the LTS version of node. Stackblitz is stuck in node v14

Steps to reproduce bug:

Use node.js 16.13.0 LTS The bug happens only when the “build” command runs on node 16.13.0 LTS

Build project normally (with node.js preset): (This doesn’t generate any errors)

npm run build

Run application that was built

npm run start
# node .output/server/index.mjs # also works

Simply open the application on the browser.

Check console:

error: Uncaught TypeError: false.accept is not a function at entry-51da4355.mjs:1
(anonymous) @ entry-51da4355.mjs:1

I’ve reproduced it with nodejs v16.13.0 LTS. It doesn’t happen with nodejs v14.18.1 🔥

Describe the bug

Whenever the build command is run with node v16.13.0 LTS, the shipped .output doesn’t run properly.

When running node .output/server/index.mjs, the browser application crashes on a javascript error that blocks any hydration to take place:

error: Uncaught TypeError: false.accept is not a function
  at entry-51da4355.mjs:1
(anonymous) @ entry-51da4355.mjs:1

Additional context

Logs

Looks like i have a similar error.

bootstrap-8042a496.mjs:8 Uncaught TypeError: false.accept is not a function at bootstrap-8042a496.mjs:8 (anonymous) @ bootstrap-8042a496.mjs:8

i tried quite hard to reproduce the problem, after 3 days i found the solution. my .env contained the variable NODE_ENV=DEBUG this somehow conflicts with the prod build yarn build

A permanent fix has been introduced: https://github.com/nuxt/framework/pull/5417.

Regardless, you should not override NODE_ENV.
