Front end build fails on routes.tsx

[donlyon]

Describe the bug

I'm getting the following error during the front end build in production mode. It does not happen every time, but I first started getting it after updating from 24.5.0.alpha10 to 24.5.0.alpha12. I reverted but I'm still seeing it now, even after doing full cleans, and even fresh checkouts.

Hi, thank you for reporting.

I cannot replicate the issue. I tried upgrading to alpha 12 and 13, I see some errors related to peer dependencies. Those are known and fixed in #2699. I had to remove node_modules and package-lock.json to test the production build, but otherwise it works and I cannot see the error you mention.

There must be something specific to your project. If you are able to provide more details, that can help identifying the real issue.

Thanks for taking the time to try and reproduce this. I was able to get it resolved by synching up the versions of node on my Github Runner with my development box, then recreating package-lock.json with that version.
