Error building - cross-device link not permitted

[tgoldenberg]

The error message is too cryptic for me to understand. Previous builds have been working fine, and there shouldn't be many changes to cause this to happen.

Here is the build log:

Tried a few things, after reading this thread on npm, including using different versions of NPM...

Tried running with Yarn (including my yarn.lock file), that failed also, giving an error that my babel files couldn't be found. When I moved the babel preset packages from devDependencies to dependencies, I get the same error about the cross-device linking. No idea....

Maybe related to this PR - vercel/next.js#1174

[tgoldenberg]

yep, it was a bug that was introduced. I'm keeping fixed version numbers for next.js from now on.

Interesting that this bug was found on a multi-device Windows filesystem. I hope that Next.js mv fix works for Heroku build too ⚔️
