Error: Cannot find module '/path/.next/build-manifest.json'

Bug report

Describe the bug

When a SASS error happens, the Next CLI properly tells me about the SASS error, but then it prints this error to the console every few seconds until I fix the SASS error:

{ Error: Cannot find module '/Users/zach/dev/test/next-module-not-found-bug/.next/build-manifest.json'

To Reproduce

I’ve created a reproduction repository here.

Note: The SASS error in this repository is intentional to demonstrate this Next.js issue

1. Run the following in a terminal:

git clone https://github.com/zposten/next-module-not-found-bug.git
cd next-module-not-found-bug
yarn
yarn start

1. See error

Expected behavior

The SASS error should be printed a single time. This other error should not be printed to the terminal continuously.

Screenshots

If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

System information

• OS: macOS 10.15.3
• Version of Next.js: 9.3.2

Additional Context

Both of the apps that I’ve seen this issue in have

• Used typescript
• Had a custom _app.tsx
• Used the new built in SASS support for global stylesheets

I have not exhaustively tested various configurations to figure out the precise cause of this issue.

This issue seems similar to:

• #7839
• #4660
• #6287

…but all these issues are closed

I resolved this error by removing the .next folder and node_modules and reinstalling with yarn.

rm -rf .next
rm -rf node_modules
yarn

I upgraded from 10.2.1 to 11.0.1 and went into this problem. Still found no fix 😦
