Error [BABEL]: ... "Cannot find module 'js-levenshtein'"

[lauralouiset]

Bug report

I've tried with my custom babel.config.js file, I've tried having deleted said file (which isn't doing much) but I'm getting a compilation error after upgrading from 9.3.6 to 9.4.0.

Possibly related to #12779 and/or #12740

Describe the bug

A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

Compilation bug in the console of VSCode:

error - ./node_modules/next/dist/client/dev/amp-dev.js Error: [BABEL] /**myfilepaths**/node_modules/next/dist/client/dev/amp-dev.js: Cannot find module 'js-levenshtein' Require stack:

here's my next.config:

module.exports = {
  publicRuntimeConfig: config,
  serverRuntimeConfig: config,
  webpack(config, options = {}) { 
    config.module.rules.push({
      test: /\.svg$/,
      use: [
        {
          loader: 'react-svg-loader',
        },
      ],
    },
    {
      test: /\.(png|jpe?g|gif)$/i,
      use: [
        {
          loader: 'file-loader',
        },
      ],
    })
    return config;
  },
}

Hmm. it appears that @babel/preset-env swapped their levenshtein distance package from js-levenshtein to levenary in 7.8.0 babel/babel@30f3b07#diff-cf817afef443d0d96acf65275e0edf13.

yarn cache clean didn't fix it -- however, deleting /node_nodules and .next folder and doing fresh yarn install seems to fix the issue. Closing -- hope this can help anyone else who comes across this error message.

same error when upgrade next.js version, resolved by delete node_modules.

but in vercel, deploy is fail, since it used build cache

+1 for amplify. Needing to rm -rf node_modules before yarn install on builds.

@thomaszdxsn I ran into this issue just now, simply using vercel cli to deploy resolved it for the deployment part. I went through the steps listed here, e.g. remove node_modules but as I have a github action that kicks off a deployment on vercel after a push, the Error [BABEL]: ... "Cannot find module 'js-levenshtein' error persisted until I used vercel cli.
