I am doing nothing to trigger this error. The app works fine one second, and doesn't the next.
Why is this happening? It is not due to the missing @rollup/plugin-json plugin because it worked previously without it.

If you are using typescript, I added the json() plugin after typescript:
File: rollup.config.js
import typescript from "rollup-plugin-typescript2"; import resolve from "@rollup/plugin-node-resolve"; import commonjs from "@rollup/plugin-commonjs"; import replace from "@rollup/plugin-replace"; import json from "@rollup/plugin-json"; const plugins = [ typescript({ tsconfig: "./tsconfig-build.json", }), json(), <<------------- HERE resolve(), commonjs(), replace({ ... preventAssignment: true, }), ]; The problem was that I was importing a node module in the client due to autocomplete.
import { is } from "express/lib/request"; 2
