ERROR: This build is using Turbopack, with a `webpack` config and no `turbopack` config. (Next.js 16 next build)

next@16#nextjs#turbopack#webpack#build#next-config
ERROR: This build is using Turbopack, with a `webpack` config and no `turbopack` config.
Fix

Pick one option:

  1. Keep webpack. Opt out with the CLI flag. No config key or env var does this.
// package.json
{ "scripts": { "dev": "next dev --webpack", "build": "next build --webpack" } }
  1. Migrate to Turbopack. Port the customisations to the top-level turbopack option, for example resolve.fallback becomes turbopack.resolveAlias, and loaders go in turbopack.rules:
// next.config.ts
const nextConfig = {
  turbopack: {
    resolveAlias: { fs: { browser: './empty.ts' } },
  },
}
export default nextConfig
  1. Run next build --turbopack (or add an empty turbopack: {}) to use Turbopack and ignore the webpack function. Only do this if the webpack hook is not needed. Plugins that register through webpack() will silently stop working.

Also remove the old --turbopack / --turbo flags from scripts. They are no longer needed.

Symptom

next build (or next dev) exits right away after upgrading to Next.js 16:

⨯ ERROR: This build is using Turbopack, with a `webpack` config and no `turbopack` config.

This may be a mistake.

As of Next.js 16 Turbopack is enabled by default and
custom webpack configurations may need to be migrated to Turbopack.

A common wrong assumption is that Turbopack is still opt-in (--turbopack) and that next build still uses webpack.

Cause

In Next.js 16 (released 2025-10-21), Turbopack is stable and is the default bundler for both next dev and next build. If next.config has a webpack function, the build fails on purpose so the webpack customisations are not silently ignored. The webpack key often comes from a plugin wrapper (for example withX(nextConfig)) and not from your own config.

Verify

The next build header prints ▲ Next.js 16.x (Turbopack) or (webpack), matching what you chose, and the build completes.
