this error basically happens when turbopack is running in a place where it can’t track dependencies (like inside actions-runner folders). it tries to invalidate something and just panics

the path in your logs:
users/geist/dev/actions-runner/...
pretty much confirms it. turbopack thinks the workspace is read only so it disables dependency tracking and then freaks out during build

quick fixes u can try:

run the build outside the actions runner folder
cd ~/Development/joberos.next && pnpm build
if it works there, then yeah it’s the runner env causing it
force enable tracking
export TURBOPACK_ENABLE_SOURCE_TRACING=1
export TURBO_TASKS_MEMORY_ONLY=0
pnpm build
easiest temporary fix
disable turbopack for prod
NEXT_PRIVATE_TURBOPACK=0 pnpm build
clean cache (sometimes runner workspace corrupts it)
rm -rf .next/cache node_modules/.cache
pnpm build

this is a known turbopack issue btw, nothing wrong with prisma or your code. it’s just turbopack panicking when dependency tracking is off. building outside the runner or turning off turbopack fixes it

Hey there!

I'm getting the exact same error, down to the path (/Users/geist/dev/actions-runner/...). This is only after the latest version, and I am not executing my build from withing a Gitlab Runner (as that path seems to imply), nor is my user geist (in fact, this user doesn't exist on my machine). I am running this inside an M4 Mac, no virtualization involved.

I just want to be clear (in reference to your first and fourth comment) that this issue is happening even when not in any kind of runner environment.

That's true I am using M4 Max Mac as well, not in a github/gitlab or whatever action, just to my mac

zargold Nov 19, 2025

Happening for me as well on CI (Linux) and locally with an M4 Mac.

Had the same issue after updating to Next.js 16, both locally (M1 MacBook) and on Vercel. Saw this issue #85496 and deleting all but one icon.* files in the app directory fixed it for me (both locally and on Vercel).

Looks like the simmilar issue, but now with latest release of Next.js 16.1.1 production builds fail with a Turbopack panic: Dependency tracking is disabled so invalidation is not allowed

Environment

Next.js Version: 16.1.1
Node Version: 22.x
Platform: Windows 11 (also fails on Vercel's build environment)
