I am trying to build nextjs project and getting this error:
Type error: Cannot find type definition file for 'build'.
The file is in the program because:
Entry point for implicit type library 'build'
how can I build without this error?
This is how package.json looks:

}
}
I am trying to build using yarn build command
Why am I getting this error and how can I get rid of it?
The issue is caused by this line in your package.json:
"@types/": "ckeditor/ckeditor5-alignment",
Looks like yarn add gone wrong. Uninstall that, remove it from your package.json, and you should be good to go :)
This issue occurs when you have subdirectories of a typeRoots directory (in this case node_modules/@types) that do not contain index.d.ts.
I agree, not a very clear error message. For more info, Microsoft/TypeScript #27956 discusses this same problem.
