Sharp@0.34.0 fails to compile with NextJS 15 (works with sharp@0.33.5)

[JonBernardHealia]

Possible bug

Is this a possible bug in a feature of sharp, unrelated to installation?

• Running npm install sharp completes without error.
• Running node -e "require('sharp')" completes without error.

If you cannot confirm both of these, please open an installation issue instead.

Are you using the latest version of sharp?

• I am using the latest version of sharp as reported by npm view sharp dist-tags.latest.

If you cannot confirm this, please upgrade to the latest version and try again before opening an issue.

If you are using another package which depends on a version of sharp that is not the latest, please open an issue against that package instead.

What is the output of running npx envinfo --binaries --system --npmPackages=sharp --npmGlobalPackages=sharp?

Does this problem relate to file caching?

The default behaviour of libvips is to cache input files, which can lead to EBUSY or EPERM errors on Windows.
Use sharp.cache(false) to switch this feature off.

• Adding sharp.cache(false) does not fix this problem.

Does this problem relate to images appearing to have been rotated by 90 degrees?

Images that contain EXIF Orientation metadata are not auto-oriented. By default, EXIF metadata is removed.

• To auto-orient pixel values use the parameter-less rotate() operation.

• To retain EXIF Orientation use keepExif().

• Using rotate() or keepExif() does not fix this problem.

What are the steps to reproduce?

• Upgrade sharp to 0.34.0
• Have a next 15.2.3 app
• have a docker build
• run in github actions

What is the expected behaviour?

• Docker image builds

There's a lot going on here. Please can you simplify/reduce the steps required to reproduce this, perhaps as a standalone repo, and without a dependency on third party services.

[nemanjam]

Astro, same thing locally on Ubuntu.

[maiconsanson]

Same here, but only in production.
After the upgrade, the Vercel build fails with Error: Command "pnpm install" exited with 1.

• fix(next/image): bump sharp@0.34.1 vercel/next.js#77839
• Upgrade top level dependency sharp@0.33.5 vercel/next.js#76210

[lovell]

Please can someone produce a complete, minimal, standalone repo that allows someone else to reproduce.

[perepechin]

After upgrading to 0.34.1 build fails with this error in WP Engine:
Error: Could not load the "sharp" module using the linux-x64 runtime

I can build locally without any issues on my Windows machine.

To make it work in WP Engine, I downgraded sharp to 0.33.5 version.

[lovell]

Clear, simple steps for someone else to reproduce is the only thing that's going to help here.

ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED: Error loading shared library libvips-cpp.so.42: No such file or directory (needed by /app/node_modules/next/node_modules/@img/sharp-linuxmusl-x64/lib/sharp-linuxmusl-x64.node)

If you see the mention of libvips-cpp.so.42 (and exactly that version) in your error message then you are using v0.33.x rather than v0.34.x.

[nemanjam]

Some global OS package is missing in Ubuntu 24.04 desktop, in the next few days I will see which one exactly. It works in more complete Linux images.

[maiconsanson]

Vercel fixed it.: vercel/next.js#77839

[omavi]

I'm using npm. In addition to updating to next 15.3.0 and sharp 0.34.1, I needed to regenerate my package-lock.json. The following did the trick for me: rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json && npm install

[lovell]

@JonBernardHealia As creator of this issue, were you able to make any progress with this?

[nemanjam]

There must be some issue, identical environment Ubuntu 24.04, 0.33.5 builds fine and 0.34.1 fails.

- Ensure optional dependencies can be installed:
    npm install --include=optional sharp
- Ensure your package manager supports multi-platform installation:
    See https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/install#cross-platform
- Add platform-specific dependencies:
    npm install --os=linux --cpu=x64 sharp
- Consult the installation documentation:

  Hint:
    Browser APIs are not available on the server.
    
    If the code is in a framework component, try to access these objects after rendering using lifecycle methods or use a `client:only` directive to make the component exclusively run on the client.
