I have tried with and without public-hoist-pattern[] = follow-redirects in .npmrc, and the same result occurs.

Hey @elliottsj - thanks for raising this.
We've seen a few issues with Next 13.5+ and our runtime which we're trying to sort out.
Once this PR is merged and released, can you try building again?

#2313

Also, we're working on some major improvements to the runtime which should make future Next.js version support on Netlify much better. 👍🏻

[elliottsj]

This issue affects Next.js 13.4 as well.

Hi @MarcL, #2313 has been merged. But the Runtime.ImportModule error still persists in my project. I'm using next@14.0.0

[serhalp]

Hi @elliottsj @kaf-lamed-beyt

The team at Netlify have now released the new v5 Next.js runtime which has support for both pages and app router, on-demand and time-based revalidation, automatic fine-grained cache control, and automatic image optimization using Netlify's image CDN.

You can find the documentation and additional information on the new runtime here: Next.js on Netlify

The v4 runtime is now in the maintenance support phase with no new features being added. Occasional bug fixes and security patches will be applied when needed.

Thanks!

[kaf-lamed-beyt]

Ayy! Great work! 🚀
