Describe the Bug

When trying to run pnpm build, which runs astro check and asto build the build fails at some point. When having an existing dist folder the check fail, throwing 14 error and hundreds of warnings all coming from the dist folder.

When deleting the dist folder, the command fails with this error: The requested module 'nanoid/non-secure' does not provide an export named 'default'

Which I am not even using because I just have some .md files and it happens even in an empty project using pnpm create astro --template starlight.

Thanks for the feedback.

I think there are 2 issues here, the first one being the warnings that are displayed when running pnpm build (which at the moment runs astro check && astro build) with an existing dist folder. This is a known behavior that can be fixed by adding "exclude": ["dist"] to the tsconfig.json file until changed upstream.

Regarding the second error: The requested module 'nanoid/non-secure' does not provide an export named 'default':

• When trying locally in a new project (using pnpm create astro --template starlight as you mentioned), I was not able to reproduce the issue.
• When running npm run build in the Stackblitz link you provided, I was also not able to reproduce the issue.

Could you confirm you're also seeing this error in the provided Stackblitz link?

I could fix the dist error thank you.

You were correct the stackblitz link does not throw that error I am sorry.

After creating a new astro starlight project in an empty folder which was not in a monorepo and transferring all the code into the monorepo folder it mysteriously run the build command without any issues.

Thank you for your help.
