Same happened to me upgrading from 15.5.4 to 16.0.0 beta

Turbopack version: v16.0.0-beta
Next.js version: 0.0.0

Do you have a repro? I assume this happened in the context of a next build command?

[arioberek]

Not yet. It happens in next build --turbopack (Next 16.0.0-beta.0 and 16.0.0-canary.2). Reproducible locally and on Vercel. Node 22.18, pnpm, Ubuntu. Panic:

TurbopackInternalError: Dependency tracking is disabled so invalidation is not allowed
/build/turbopack/crates/turbo-tasks-backend/src/backend/mod.rs:1477:13

What I tried to reproduce in a minimal repo but couldn’t:

• Fresh Next 16 beta app with --turbopack build → passes.
• Added Sentry, instrumentation.ts, and removed deprecated experimental.instrumentationHook → still passes.
• Imported code from src/shared into src/app, then CSS modules and SVG from that shared folder → passes.
• Introduced a local workspace/lib via file: dep and path aliases → passes.
• Flipped turbopack.root between app dir and monorepo root, matched with/without outputFileTracingRoot, cleared caches, reinstalled → passes. (Docs say files outside the root aren’t resolved and the root is inferred from lockfiles, so I aligned to that.)

P.S.:

Ran with RUST_BACKTRACE=full and other verbose flags. Output showed only opaque frames like:
