Next.js Global CSS cannot be imported from files other than your Custom <App>
My React App was working fine, using global CSS also.
I ran npm i next-images, added an image, edited the next.config.js, ran npm run dev, and now I'm getting this message
Global CSS cannot be imported from files other than your Custom <App>. Please move all global CSS imports to pages/_app.js.

I've checked the docs, but I find the instructions a little confusing as I am new to React.
Also, why would this error happen now? Do you think it has anything to do with the npm install?
I've tried to remove new files I've added along with their code, but this doesn't fix the problem. I've also tried what the Read more: suggests.
My highest tier component.
import Navbar from './Navbar';
import Head from 'next/head';
import '../global-styles/main.scss';
const Layout = (props) => (
<div>
<Head>
<title>Bitcoin Watcher</title>
</Head>
<Navbar />
<div className="marginsContainer">
{props.children}
</div>
</div>
);
export default Layout;
My next.config.js
// next.config.js
const withSass = require('@zeit/next-sass')
module.exports = withSass({
cssModules: true
})
My main.scss file
@import './fonts.scss';
@import './variables.scss';
@import './global.scss';
my global.scss
body {
margin: 0;
}
:global {
.marginsContainer {
width: 90%;
margin: auto;
}
}
The thing I find the weirdest is that this error came without changing anything to do with CSS, or Layout.js, and it was previously working?
I've moved my main.scss import to the pages/_app.js page, but the styles still aren't coming through. This is what the _app.js page looks like
import '../global-styles/main.scss'
export default function MyApp({ Component, props }) {
return <Component {...props} />
}
Answer
Use the built-in Next.js CSS loader (see here)
instead of legacy @zeit/next-sass.
- Replace
@zeit/next-sasspackage withsass. - Remove
next.config.js. Or do not change CSS loading in it. - Move the global CSS as suggested in the error message.
/pages/_app.js
import '../global-styles/main.scss'
export default function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) {
return <Component {...pageProps} />
}
You did not have this error previously because Next.js dropped support of global CSS in files other than /pages/_app.js only in recent versions.
To add styles only to a specific component or page you can use built-in support of CSS modules. (see here)
For example, if you have a component Button.js you can create a Sass file button.module.scss and include it in the component.
