Building with pnpm workspace on windows will lead to Next dist be deleted on second build

[clansty]

When I execute npm run build:worker for the second time, build will be failed with the following error

> Build error occurred
Error: Cannot find module './impl'

  ]
}

If I ls D:\project-dir\node_modules\.pnpm\[email protected][email protected][email protected][email protected][email protected]\node_modules\next\ will get an empty dir. It is normal before the second build.

I think it's some file deletion method in Next will recursive delete file in folder symlink, because there's a node_module with symlink produced by pnpm when set NEXT_PRIVATE_STANDALONE: "true"

Hey @clansty,

I have tried running a sample next.js app from the examples using the adapter with admin rights (pwsh). It works the first time but throws a bunch of errors the second time as shown below.

First time: pnpm --filter api preview:worker
Second time: pnpm --filter api build:worker

It looks like, most data from node_modules and the .next dir are being removed and the adapter is looking for something that doesn't exist.

I will try and see why but I hope it helps anyone looking into it!

To get it working, I has to delete the node_modules on the root and the api example project and run pnpm i again

You can remove the .next/standalone folder with file explorer and then build

I think there's some logic in the original next.js build doing recursive delete and treated symlinked folders like regular folders

Same issue, second build always got failure in my project

Use pnpm too, In my case, next seems got removed after the first success build,

node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1228
  throw err;

remove node_modules and re-install dependencies, then we can build it, but the second build always fails.
