Confirm, also using custom server via const { createServer } = require('http')

but navigating to the server in works

@kandros this has been resolved here. If you update your nextjs version this issue should be fixed.

@novellito I am on the latest version ^8.1.0. Has this fix been promoted to the master branch or is this on in canary? If it is only in canary then do you want us to update to the canary branch?

[novellito]

@J0NNYZER0 I believe this is only on the canary branch. Not too sure when it'll be moved to master but afaik the canary branch is the most up to date branch.

I had a mysterious

import build from 'next/dist/build';

line in one of my components which caused this. May be a VSCode autocomplete issue for me
