Gatsby Build Error - Can't Resolve React-Icons - Generating JavaScript bundles failed

4 replies
Last updated: Jul 22, 2020
Hi! I have been battling a weird issue with building my Gatsby site in a CI pipeline. The problem seems to be somehow related to the package 
react-icons
in my 
studio
.
Everything works fine when building the site locally, but in a CI the build fails. I’ve tried building in Netlify as well as Github Actions.

The error I get is following:

success Build manifest and related icons - 1.382s
success onPostBootstrap - 1.391s
info bootstrap finished - 7.327s
success run static queries - 0.069s - 17/17 247.95/s
success run page queries - 0.183s - 68/68 371.98/s
success write out requires - 0.003s
failed Building production JavaScript and CSS bundles - 27.655s
error Generating JavaScript bundles failed

Can't resolve 'react-icons/fi' in '/home/runner/work/site-name/studio/schemas/objects/sections'

If you're trying to use a package make sure that 'react-icons/fi' is installed. If you're trying to use a local file make sure that the path is correct.
I have 
react-icons
installed in both 
web
and 
studio
. Do you have any idea why this is happening? Why does 
gatsby build
try to resolve modules from another directory?

Hi Renne! This doesn’t explain why it would work locally, but still: are you using 
v3.x
of 
react-icons
in your 
package.json
file? The earlier versions (including the one shipped with the Studio) have a different way of importing the icons. More info: https://github.com/react-icons/react-icons#migrating-from-version-2---3

Also, make sure that you've declared 
react-icons
as a dependency in your 
studio/package.json
. It's easy to forget, and sometimes leads to it finding a different version of react-icons somewhere else (because it's used by the frontend, for instance) and uses that, which can lead to these sort of errors.

Turned out I was just stupid 😄 Some weird VS Code autocorrect thing had corrected me to import something from the studio directory within a component on my Gatsby site 😅
Huge thanks for the help though, Peter and Espen, appreciate it
🙂

Glad to hear it was just an autocorrect issue, nasty as that is 😉 Thanks for posting back!
