[ERROR] Could not resolve "fast-xml-parser"

[Ignacio Larrañaga]

To reproduce

npx create-next-app@latest

cd my-app
npx create-sst@latest

npm install
npx sst deploy

Note: In all the cases used the defaults

And the error that happens:

✘ [ERROR] Could not resolve "fast-xml-parser"

    ../../../Users/ignacio/.npm/_npx/6fd3fdda1aa7f7f3/node_modules/@aws-sdk/core/dist-cjs/index.js:372:37:
      372 │ var import_fast_xml_parser = require("fast-xml-parser");
          ╵                                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  You can mark the path "fast-xml-parser" as external to exclude it from the bundle, which will
  remove this error. You can also surround this "require" call with a try/catch block to handle this
  failure at run-time instead of bundle-time.

Node.js v18.19.0

Error: There was a problem building the "site" site.

Workaround on aws-sdk-js-v3

I also tried to apply this: aws/aws-sdk-js-v3#5866 (comment) without success.

npm add @aws-sdk/client-s3
npx sst deploy

Same error again.

Workaround directly adding fast-xml-parser

I also tried to directly add fast-xml-parser

npm add fast-xml-parser
npx sst deploy

Same error again.

If using npm

rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
npm install

If using yarn

yarn cache clean
rm -rf node_modules yarn.lock
yarn install

Can you please remove caches and node_modules, .sst , .next everything and try again

Thanks @rokasta12, I tried that, I think the final solution was npm cache clean --force(there was something cached in my npm user cache - more details in the discord)
