Failed to read source code from /vercel/path0/_virtual_~icons/mdi/instagram.jsx

[SSardorf]

I get this when building on Vercel, and sometimes locally (using Nextjs). Redeploying usually fixes the issue

./_virtual_~icons/mdi/instagram.jsx

Same here. Super annoying. Have to remove node_modules and reinstall every time this happens.

[didier]

Should note: even that doesn't consistently fix it.

I'm also getting this constantly on build—locally or to Vercel. I'm using SvelteKit. Everything works great in development, rebuilding doesn't fix it.

I have the same issue from time to time with Nextjs locally. A fix for me is to delete the .next folder and then rerun yarn run dev.

[silasabbott]

Using virtual:icons instead of ~icons to reference icons has seemed to fix it for me.

I met this kind of error with webpack --watch first, then I exit webpack then execute it again, the error did not resurface again.

[scil]

encountered repeatly. I remove dir node_modules and tentatively remove this webpack config cacheDirectory: true.

hope it go well without this error.

Any update on this? it's quite annoying, i have to delete the .next folder often to make this work.

I have exactly the same issue with NextJs. The solution is to delete .next folder and re-run the dev command. The problem is that it happens absolutely randomly – after the 5th or 10th re-launch of a project, which may make reproducing it an unobvious, but still doable, task. I have arranged a reproduction on Stackblitz – https://stackblitz.com/edit/stackblitz-starters-arrh29?file=pages%2Findex.js.

1. After opening it, finish the process with ctrl+c.
2. Run npm run dev command, and kill it again.
3. Repeat until getting the following result:

It took me 5 attempts to finally get the error.

wait  - compiling / (client and server)...
error - ./_virtual_~icons%2Fri%2Faliens-fill.jsx
ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/projects/stackblitz-starters-arrh29/_virtual_~icons%2Fri%2Faliens-fill.jsx'

Need to note that on my local project, I have tried it with auto-import and it didn't fix the problem.

@antfu can you fix this problem? as i see this bug very old

[brian-bourdon]

Had this issue for the first time today, never had it before, retriggering the pipeline manually fixed it. It may be due to vercel build cache i suppose

[Peyman-98]

Same Problem. removing .next folder and running again will fix it. but the issue happens too much

[rosslh]

Still an issue in 2024. Any solutions other than disabling Next.js build caching all together?

Same issue, been experiencing for months now
