[Error: UNKNOWN: unknown error, open 'G:\Projects\Web-Development\college\employee-management\client\.next\static\chunks\app\page.js'] {
  errno: -4094,
  code: 'UNKNOWN',
  syscall: 'open',
  path: 'G:\\Projects\\Web-Development\\college\\employee-management\\client\\.next\\static\\chunks\\app\\page.js'
}


I get this error everytime I use dev mode. I don't know how to fix it. Somtimes it workes perfectly on a different machine but not mine.

you can say it's a bug but as it's not production build - while running your project on your local - those errors come from any of your chunk js - which gets updated everytime you update your codebase meaning it's a bit understandable

@Japanese Bobtail If you re-run your project, it should be gone away I think

sometimes, but not everytime
James4u
what do you mean by everytime?
you get this error everytime you visit a certain page?
Japanese BobtailOP
no
sometimes this error won't go away for hours
even the components are completely correct
James4u
yeah, when you encounter this error, simply rerun your project

simply re-run your project, that's all
it won't happen in the production build
@James4u it won't happen in the production build

I don't really need the current project for production
it's just for a college project
James4u
by production, I meant npm run build & npm run start
Japanese BobtailOP
yes, I am aware
@Japanese Bobtail I don't really need the current project for production
James4u
what's the reason you think you don't need produciton build but just npm run dev???

James4u
yeah, work on dev mode
everyone works in dev mode when they code

Japanese BobtailOP

James4u
I just meant you won't get those errors when you host your website
with production build
@James4u with production build
Japanese BobtailOP
okie
I hosted a client website a few months back

James4u
yeah, so if you encounter the error while developing, just restart the server
that's all
