Quick solution as simple as 1,2,3 for you:

// Revive your dev environment:
1. **Clear the browser cache.** (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + R) //Cache, the sneaky villain! 🦹‍♂️
2. Restart Next.js with `npm run dev` or `yarn dev`. //A fresh start never hurts!

// Quick reboot for your dependencies:
1. Delete `node_modules` and `*.lock`. //Time for some cleanup!
2. Reinstall with `npm install` or `yarn`. //Feels so refreshing!

// Time to play detective:
1. Examine any custom Webpack settings. //Is Webpack holding the smoking gun? 🕵️‍♂️

Focus on the trifecta of:

Restarting your workflow
Taking care of dependencies
Configuration verification

The good news is that deleting the .next directory and force-refreshing your browser quite often kick these pesky errors out of your project. Using Tailwind CSS? Be sure to rummage through your tailwind.config.js just in case it’s harboring some issues. For the folks using Firebase, ensuring the ‘build’ directory is in apple-pie order is a must! A chunk error can knock at your door if a specific path like node_modules/next/dist/client/dev/noop.js is missing or was deleted.
