[1.7.1] Uncaught TypeError: path_1.default.resolve is not a function

Hi. I am receiving this error during development of my Payload instance. It appears inside of the Admin ui's browser console. Webpack does not catch the error, during building.

The full error is here (I am using pnpm with symlinks so trace is a bit weird):

.

No matter what I am doing in payload.config.ts, it fails. Everything that uses Node API's is commented out, server restarted, yet it still fails.

Just did a full prune of the PNPM store, clean install of payload and the issue has resolved itself. Weird though as 1.7.1 is still the version I'm using.
