Hi there,
Today i discovered a strange build issue in Netlify when adding react-icons to my studio. Hoping someone can make sense of this.

My code:

import S from '@sanity/desk-tool/structure-builder'

import {AiFillSetting, AiFillDatabase, AiFillLayout, AiFillHome, AiFillFileText} from 'react-icons/Ai'

import {GoThreeBars} from 'react-icons/Go'

import {RiGlobeFill} from 'react-icons/Ri'

import {workflowListItems} from './workflow/structure/workflow'


const hiddenDocTypes = listItem =>

!['settingsMeta', 'settingsNavigation', 'settingsGlobals', 'section', 'homepage', 'page', 'divider', 'navigation', 'topNav', 'workflow.metadata', 'author', 'release'].includes(listItem.getId())


const docTypeListItems = S.documentTypeListItems().filter(hiddenDocTypes)


export default () =>

S.list()

.title('Content')

.items([...workflowListItems, ...docTypeListItems])

.items([

S.listItem()

.title('Settings')

.icon(AiFillSetting)

.child(

S.list()

.title('Settings')

.items([

S.listItem()

.title('Globals')

.icon(RiGlobeFill)

.child(

S.document()

.schemaType('settingsGlobals')

.documentId('settingsGlobals')

),

S.listItem()

.title('Metadata')

.icon(AiFillDatabase)

.child(

S.document()

.schemaType('settingsMeta')

.documentId('settingsMeta')

),

S.listItem()

.title('Navigation')

.icon(GoThreeBars)

.child(

S.document()

.schemaType('settingsNavigation')

.documentId('settingsNavigation')

)

])

),

S.listItem()

.title('Content sections')

.icon(AiFillLayout)

.child(

S.documentList('section')

.schemaType('section')

.title('Content sections')

.filter(

'_type == "section"'

)

),

S.listItem()

.title('Content homepages')

.icon(AiFillHome)

.child(

S.documentList('homepage')

.schemaType('homepage')

.title('Content homepages')

.filter(

'_type == "homepage"'

)

),

S.listItem()

.title('Content pages')

.icon(AiFillFileText)

.child(

S.documentList('section')

.schemaType('section')

.title('Sections')

.filter(

'_type == "section"'

)

.child(sectionId =>

S.documentList()

.schemaType('homepage')

.title('Home pages')

.filter(

'_type == "homepage" && $sectionId == belongsTo._ref'

)

.params({sectionId})

.child(homepageId =>

S.documentList()

.schemaType('page')

.title('Pages')

.filter(

'_type == "page" && $homepageId == belongsTo._ref'

)

.params({homepageId})

)

)

),

...S.documentTypeListItems().filter(hiddenDocTypes)

])

The error:

Works exactly as expected locally but I'm guessing there is some sort of path issue when buliding on Netlify.

Please can anyone help?

Many thanks in advance
