Minimatch issue

Minimatch is a package that is used by Strapi and has a known issues. This can cause problems when trying to build or run your Strapi project. Sometimes it happens that a project locally works, but fails in production or in a different environment.

What’s the solution?

To resolve this issue, you can update the minimatch. If minimatch is in the package.json from a Strapi package, remove minimatch and reinstall (the Strapi package). Go to the root of your Strapi project and run the following command:

yarn add -D @types/minimatch": "3.0.5"

Make sure you also add this Resolution to your package.json:

"resolutions": {
    "minimatch": "^3.0.0",
    "@types/minimatch": "^3.0.0"
}

If this still fails the project, make sure to add the same in the package.json in the CMS folder. Also check if there are no ’^’ in release numbers in the package.json files.

If still not working, you can try to remove the node_modules folder.
