fs missing from webpack

getting this error

 ERROR  Failed to compile with 1 errors                                                                21:03:36

This module was not found:

* fs in ./~/request/lib/har.js

To install it, you can run: npm install --save fs

from googling around, it seems some people had success with adding

node: {
  fs: "empty"
}

to their webpack config

I tried adding that in next.config.js without success. could it be syntax, or is that not the correct file ?

This can be solved with adding config.node = {fs: "empty"}; to your config.

// next.config.js

module.exports = withImages(
  withCSS(
    withSass({
      exportPathMap: function() {
        return {
          '/': { page: '/' }
        }
      },
      webpack(config) {
        config.node = { fs: 'empty' }
        return config
      },
    })
  )
)
