[anuj9196]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have checked for existing issues https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/issues
• I have reviewed the documentation https://docs.sentry.io/
• I am using the latest SDK release https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/releases

Reproduction Example/SDK Setup

After installing latest version of @sentry/nextjs, building application started giving error

pnpm run build

The erorr

Type error: Cannot find type definition file for 'minimatch'.
  The file is in the program because:
    Entry point for implicit type library 'minimatch'

After deep checking, @sentry/nextjs is the only package depending on minimatch

This package is also mentioned in this pull request merged on July 2
#16789

Steps to Reproduce

1. Setup new nextjs project
2. Install @sentry/nextjs then run
3. Build application by running

pnpm run build

Expected Result

minimatch should be part of the package and installed automatically

Actual Result

minimatch requires external installation and interrupts building application. Initially it is difficult to find the root cause because of very generic error statement without mentioning traceback.

Hey, the minimatch version we include ships its own types. What version of this is installed for you, and do you have more details (e.g. a stacktrace, ...) about the error?

@mydea Installing it manually solved the issue. The version installed is

"minimatch": "^10.0.3",

command used

pnpm add minimatch

[mydea]

but without installing it manually...? We use v9 internally, but that also has types and is a regular dependency so should be installed normally for you 🤔
