Project not building after using PDFDownloadLink Component

[dpena-nts]

Describe the bug It doesnt show any error, it just get stuck "Creating an optimized production build" and never finishes This happens when I'm using PDFDownloadLink

Having the same problem, even without PDFDownloadLink.

Next.js version: 12.3.1 React vesrion: 17.0.1 react-pdf/renderer: 3.1.9

Tried to prevent the page that uses the components from being taken into account during next.js compile time in two ways:

• By setting a state that becomes true in the componentDidMount lifecycle and conditionally rendering the component that uses the react-pdf/renderer library.
• By performing dynamic import of the component that uses the react-pdf/renderer library.
• Even a combination of both

In either case, running yarn build in the terminal does not complete the process.

An important observation is that if I do not import the component that uses the library, the compilation does not take more than 30 seconds.

I'm also using Next.js and React and as @marfb said it does happen even without using PDFDownloadLink, tried another approach without it and still happened

i have same problem !!

I've manage to find a "solution" or at least a possible workaround.

Like I said the project i'm working on is using next.js v 12.3.1. Apparently there is a bug in a dependency for that nexjs version.

The proper solution i think it would be to update your next.js version to the latest.

If that is not possible (like in my case) I found this issue response that gave me the idea and it worked.

In your next.config.js file, update the swcMinify to false

const nextConfig = {
  /* all your config */
  swcMinify: false,
}

i think that this solution is not recommended. change swc to false will cause problems of performance in build time

@marfb the "swcMinify: false" worked, I'll see if its possible to update to the latest version of next or just go with the work around
