nextjs - 💡(How to fix) Fix [TurbopackInternalError] Build fails on Windows with Prisma symlink error (os error 1314) [3 comments, 4 participants]

Build error: Caused by: A required privilege is not held by the client (os error 1314)

TL;DR

• Running the terminal as Administrator or disabling Turbopack may temporarily resolve the issue related to symlink permission handling on Windows.

Guidance

• Investigate Windows symlink permission settings to understand why running the terminal as Administrator sometimes avoids the issue.
• Verify if the problem persists when using a different package manager or Node.js version to isolate the root cause.
• Consider configuring Turbopack to handle symlinks differently or adjusting Windows permissions to accommodate the required privileges.
• Review the panic logs in AppData\Local\Temp\next-panic-*.log for more detailed error information.

Example

• No specific code changes are suggested without further investigation, but checking the @prisma/client installation and symlink creation process may provide insights.

Notes

• The issue seems to be related to Windows-specific symlink permission handling, which may not be directly related to the versions of Next.js, React, or Node.js used.
• Disabling Turbopack resolves the problem, indicating the issue is likely related to how Turbopack handles symlinks on Windows.

Recommendation

• Apply workaround: Run the terminal as Administrator when using Turbopack to ensure the required privileges are held by the client, as this seems to temporarily resolve the issue.
