Specifying webpack configuration using node v23 in next config breaks next build

[dualdetail]

Link to the code that reproduces this issue

https://github.com/dualdetail/webpack-example

To Reproduce

npm install npm run build

Current vs. Expected behavior

Currently, build prints webpack caching failure then stops building (this also prints in dev without issues). If you remove the webpack configuration from next.config.ts the build will process normally. I set it up so the next.config.ts file does not change the config but just returns the default which still fails.

Expected behavior is build will work with webpack configuration.

Additional context

I have tried using both npm and pnpm without success. I did not get webpack.cache.PackFileCacheStrategy print out in nextjs 14.2.15 and node v23.

So I experimented on accident. It seems related to node v23. I was able to build the app using node v22 just fine. I tested this on a separate machine and updating to node v23 and installing libraries produces the same output (as in it doesn't build)

Similar problem here, build is breaking with below error after bumping Node to 23.1.0.

Error: Could not find a production build in the '.next' directory. Try building your app with 'next build' before starting the production server. https://nextjs.org/docs/messages/production-start-no-build-id

Having this issue as well building a Next 13.5.6 app on Node v23.
