Build occasionally fails complains about missing modules but also succeeds

Bug report

Describe the bug

I have a fairly simple app that pings a mongo database and generates dynamic pages. The homepage lists a handful of documents and they link to individual pages. The build often fails complaining about missing modules despite running perfectly fine on localhost. However, if I build it a 2nd or 3rd time it will usually succeed.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior, please provide code snippets or a repository:

1. Clone https://github.com/itsclarke/vantures
2. Install dependencies
3. Run npm run dev
4. While dev is running, also run npm run build
5. See errors

Expected behavior

A failed build outputs:

> next build

Compiled successfully.

@touqeeraslam I haven’t been able to solve it. Ended up not using NextJS because the contributors never got back to me.

Any idea on how one would go about fixing this?
