sharp no longer optional since 10.0.4-canary.7

[jorrit]

Bug report

Describe the bug

Next.js has an optional dependency on sharp. This means that it should run without sharp present in node_modules.

PR #20035 broke this by adding require.resolve('sharp') without a try/catch to catch MODULE_NOT_FOUND.

I discovered this because sharp no longer installs with NPM 7 (see #20432).

To Reproduce

npm i [email protected]
rimraf node_modules/sharp
npm run build

Build error occurred
Error: Cannot find module 'sharp'
Require stack:

• C:\Projects\ANWB\Travelhome-git\camper2-website\node_modules\next\dist\build\index.js
• C:\Projects\ANWB\Travelhome-git\camper2-website\node_modules\next\dist\cli\next-build.js
• C:\Projects\ANWB\Travelhome-git\camper2-website\node_modules\next\dist\bin\next
  at Function.Module._resolveFilename (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:902:15)
  at Function.resolve (internal/modules/cjs/helpers.js:94:19)
  at build (C:\Projects\ANWB\Travelhome-git\camper2-website\node_modules\next\dist\build\index.js:11:794) {
  code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND',
  requireStack: [
  'C:\Projects\ANWB\Travelhome-git\camper2-website\node_modules\next\dist\build\index.js',
  'C:\Projects\ANWB\Travelhome-git\camper2-website\node_modules\next\dist\cli\next-build.js',
  'C:\Projects\ANWB\Travelhome-git\camper2-website\node_modules\next\dist\bin\next'
  ]
  }

Expected behavior

The site builds OK.

• OS: Windows or Linux (alpine in docker)
• Version of Next.js: 10.0.4-canary.7 and up
• Version of Node.js: 14 (latest)
• Deployment: fails on build

[jorrit]

Perhaps a CI test that removes sharp after installing the dependencies would prevent this in the future.

Feel free to send a PR!

Tks for the report and PR @jorrit !

npm i [email protected]

I don't really know why but this happens in 10.0.4 (the latest version, not the canary one) too

[jorrit]

Canary-7 was the version the bug got introduced in, it is also in the later canary versions and the final version.

same issue. could not deploy to aws

[paxelpixel]

is there a temporary fix for this?

[ChristianPraiss]

Downgrading to `{"next": "10.0.3"}` worked wonders for me

[paxelpixel]

thank you much brother! unfortunately, it didn't work. I spent 8 hours trying to make this work on the beanstalk. no luck
went back to vercel and it worked in less than a minute. hopefully, there is official a guide for aws

[firefart]

Any update on this? This introduces so many new dependencies that previous docker images fail to build because this now requires sharp which reuqires python3 and so on. This currently prevents us from upgrading to the latest next.js version

[vtenfys]

@firefart a PR is open to fix this (#20738) although the Next.js maintainers haven't responded to it yet

[orzklv]

For macos users: brew install libvips and voila!
For debian users: apt install libvips approximate answer, I dunno how is it called on debian & arch package managers...

Also, don't forget to upgrade it if it exists already!

@genemators If only that was that easy.

What about corporate environments that just can't download things from the internet for builds, only from an npm mirror ?
That's the reason this dependency was made optional in the first place.

I dunno dude, this is just a temporary solution.

[cseas]

Having "sharp" as a dependency is a bit of a problem on corporate systems because those terminals usually aren't allowed to fetch anything directly from GitHub which is exactly what the sharp install keeps trying to do.

Thanks for kodiakhq for the effort to replace sharp, but this was closed and the problem persist in the latest version.

Best regards.

[vtenfys]

@robertveloso A new stable version hasn't yet been released since the fix, but if you install the latest preview version (currently 10.0.8-canary.5) you'll find it fixes the issue :)

Bruh, it was just an option ...

[lewyuburi]

For Arch Linux (or Arch Linux based distro likes Manjaro), try sudo pacman -S libvips

Doesn't work in mac.
