Next.js is trying to patch the lock file for the Next.js v14.1.0. It failed to do so, and threw the following error:

 ⚠ Found lockfile missing swc dependencies, patching...

Expected

Such error should not be thrown

Additional context

So far, this doesn't seem to impact the main application, including next dev and next build.

There isn't seem to have any issues on starting the React Email dev server, which is based on Next.js either.

I have the same issue, after update i have this line in my webpack-config.js:

if (parseInt(_react.default.version) < 19) {
    throw new Error('Next.js requires react >= 19.0.0 to be installed.');
}

react 19.0.0 is not released yet and in Beta.
commenting this out will result in the same error as above

Running into the same issue after updating to React 19 / Next 15. When starting a dev server, I see:

  ▲ Next.js 15.0.0-rc.0
  - Local:        http://localhost:8020
  - Environments: .env.local
  - Experiments (use with caution):

Uninstalling and reinstalling Next had no effect. Fortunately, however, things still seem to work. Here's the rest of the debug info:

@joshwcomeau This will be fixed by #66515

Just checking the dashboard repo, while running pnpm -dev, it compiles fine but got the same locfile missing warning now with the rc.56

Works for me now as of August 12, 2024 after updating the following dependencies:

    "next": "15.0.0-canary.111",
    "react": "19.0.0-rc-187dd6a7-20240806",
    "react-dom": "19.0.0-rc-187dd6a7-20240806"

Mind the React and React DOM versions. They need to be updated as you update next

[GabrielCev]

thanks @ikushlianski these versions fixed the issue for me

[rubben-ruiz]

@ikushlianski great!

@ijjk We might wanna close the issue now since it appears that my PR #66515 did resolve the issue.

vercel might want to update their getting-started courseware as I ran in to this issue when working through the tutorial. This will scare noobs. 😆 Next.js tutorial link here
