ERROR #98123 WEBPACK when running `npm run develop`

I would like to create a new Gatsby site using the instructions on https://www.gatsbyjs.com/docs/quick-start , so I ran:

npm init gatsby  # see note below
cd my-gatsby-site
npm run develop

Note: I didn’t change any configuration, so I’m using JavaScript (instead of TypeScript), not using a CMS, not using a styling system, and installed no additional features.

During running npm run develop, I’m getting the following error:

Environment:

node 18.3.0
npm 8.11.0
OS: macOS 12.4

I’m not sure how to debug this problem. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Answer

This issue is related to your Node version (^18.0).

The issue should be resolved if you downgrade to 16, deleting your node_modules, your package-lock.json and reinstalling them again.

If that’s not an option if you need to stick to version 18 use the following resolution in your package.json:

  "resolutions": {
    "source-map": "^0.8.0-beta.0"
  },

Another solution is upgrading Gatsby to its latest version by:

npm install gatsby@next
