TypeError: Class extends value undefined is not a constructor or null while running next.js

Question

While running

npm run dev

I suddenly start getting error without pretty much any change to the code of the project:

Modifying the code of the app so it won't include any files or load anything still produces the same error.

Answer 1

1 Try removing node_modules and installing everything again have helped.

rm -rf node_modules
npm install

2 The problem may be caused by the version of Node JS (too old or too new). In this case, you may change it with n or nvm (the latest has a version for Windows too)
