ModuleNotFoundError: Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'next/server'-CodePudding

I just cloned the Next Auth Example, changed ports in package.json to match my server and added my domain in .env.local. Because of WASM middleware in Next 12, I had to downgrade to Next 11, so I just edited package.json to "next": "^11.1.3" and ran npm i again.

When I try to npm run build, I get this error:

ModuleNotFoundError: Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'next/server' in 'domain.com/pages'

The npm run dev works fine.

The page that has the server import is: https://github.com/nextauthjs/next-auth-example/blob/main/pages/_middleware.js

import { getToken } from "next-auth/jwt"
import { NextResponse } from "next/server"

/** @param {import("next/server").NextRequest} req */
export async function middleware(req) {
  if (req.nextUrl.pathname === "/middleware-protected") {
    const session = await getToken({
      req,
      secret: process.env.SECRET,
      secureCookie:
        process.env.NEXTAUTH_URL?.startsWith("https://") ??
        !!process.env.VERCEL_URL,
    })
    // You could also check for any property on the session object,
    // like role === "admin" or name === "John Doe", etc.
    if (!session) return NextResponse.redirect("/api/auth/signin")
    // If user is authenticated, continue.
  }
}

(removed -p since it had no effect in my environment)

What's causing the problem and how should I solve it?

Middleware as a concept was introduced with NextJS 12 - See here - https://nextjs.org/blog/next-12#introducing-middleware

For your usecase, see here and follow the api routes example.
