Reproduction Example/SDK Setup
After installing latest version of @sentry/nextjs, building application started giving error
pnpm run build
The erorr
Type error: Cannot find type definition file for 'minimatch'.
The file is in the program because:
Entry point for implicit type library 'minimatch'
After deep checking, @sentry/nextjs is the only package depending on minimatch
This package is also mentioned in this pull request merged on July 2
#16789
Steps to Reproduce
- Setup new nextjs project
- Install
@sentry/nextjsthen run - Build application by running
pnpm run build
Expected Result
minimatch should be part of the package and installed automatically
Actual Result
minimatch requires external installation and interrupts building application. Initially it is difficult to find the root cause because of very generic error statement without mentioning traceback.

but without installing it manually...? We use v9 internally, but that also has types and is a regular dependency so should be installed normally for you 🤔

This issue has gone three weeks without activity. In another week, I will close it.
But! If you comment or otherwise update it, I will reset the clock, and if you remove the label
