https://github.com/Dahbu7/gatsby-issue-1

I have uninstalled postcss and postcss-loader and reinstalled them as dev dependencies - that didn’t work I have uninstalled css-minimizer-webpack-plugin and reinstalled it as dev dependency - that didn’t work either.

PLEASE NOTE: After I uninstalled just postcss I ran build again so it could use the postcss package that is in the node_modules/gatsby folder as in, node_modules/gatsby/node_modules/postcss and that didn’t work either.

My Node version is: v14.15.0 My dev-dependency installed webpack version is: Everything else can be found in the github light reproduction repo:

https://github.com/Dahbu7/gatsby-issue-1

I tried hosting it on gatsby cloud and the deploy build failed there too for the exact same reason. I even did the NODE_VERSION = 16 thing as an environment variable and that didn’t work. Please try it again though. Maybe I did it wrong.

I have done several react projects but this is my first time converting over to Gatsby. Any help woud be greatly appreciated.
