Gatsby builds failing for no reason

Every build is failing for seemingly no fault of my own

I’m getting 2 main errors:

  • Error: Cannot find module ‘webpack/lib/RequestShortener’
  • Error: Cannot find module ‘acorn-dynamic-import’

Both seem like something isn’t right with the deployment pipeline.

Everything has been working fine for months building up to this, then out of nowhere it’s failing.

It did fail once due to a missing dependency of gatsby-robots-txt plugin, but I uninstalled that and now it’s throwing these errors.

Any idea on how to possible fix this?

Everything is working fine locally, and building fine locally also

hi there,

can you build the project locally correctly and without issues? Seems like you don’t the dependencies you need.

If no, then this definitely points towards a gatsby issue over a netlify issue - you may have more luck getting assistance from gatsby directly: Gatsby

let us know, and we can take another look if this is truly a netlify problem :+1:
