Error when updating Next.js to 14.2.2 version while using lodash-es in a @vanilla-extract/css file

[sbahaddi]

Describe the bug

I encountered an error when updating my Next.js version from 14.1.4 to 14.2.2 while using lodash-es in a @vanilla-extract/css file. The error seems to be related to the usage of lodash-es in conjunction with @vanilla-extract/css.

Code Sample:

import { style } from "@vanilla-extract/css";
import { cloneDeep } from "lodash-es";

const test = cloneDeep;

export const demo = style({
  color: "red",
});

this branch has nextjs 14.1.4 and its working fine
https://github.com/zecka/next-vanilla-extract-example/tree/chore/add-lodash-es

Steps to Reproduce:

Create a Next.js project.
Install @vanilla-extract/css.
Create a CSS file using @vanilla-extract/css and import lodash-es in the same file.
Update Next.js to version 14.2.2
Attempt to build or run the project.

Expected Behavior:

The project should build or run successfully without any errors, as it did with Next.js version 14.1.4.

I found a workaround that is based on this comment from react-refresh-webpack-plugin which seems to be the precursor of the one that next js is using internally.

next.config.js

const { createVanillaExtractPlugin } = require("@vanilla-extract/next-plugin");

const withVanillaExtract = createVanillaExtractPlugin();

/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
let nextConfig = {
    webpack(config, { nextRuntime, webpack }) {
        if (!nextRuntime) {
            config.plugins.push(
                new webpack.BannerPlugin({
                    banner: `$RefreshReg$ = () => {};\n$RefreshSig$ = () => () => {};\n`,
                    raw: true,
                    entryOnly: true,
                    include: /\.css.ts$/,
                }),
            );
        }
        return config;
    },
};

nextConfig = withVanillaExtract(nextConfig);

module.exports = nextConfig;

Something about the lodash-es package in particular seems to be causing this. Or perhaps something to do with esbuild + ESM. Not completely sure. However, I did try out just using regular lodash, and it seems to work fine. AFAIK next.js optimizes lodash imports for better tree-shaking, so it would be fine to use if you don't need to use lodash-es for some specific reason.
