  I haven't been able to reproduce your issue.

  
  

  If you have some reproduction steps I'd like to try them to see what is going.

  
  

  Assuming you don't need GraphQL at all, you can set

  graphQL.disable: true

  in your Payload config which should prevent this from happening if you just want to be unblocked.

  Hi @dribbens this is my

  payload-config.ts
  

  import { buildConfig } from 'payload/config';
  import path from 'path';
  import Categories from './collections/Categories';
  import Posts from './collections/Posts';
  import Tags from './collections/Tags';
  import Users from './collections/Users';
  import Media from './collections/Media';
  
  export default buildConfig({
    serverURL: 'http://localhost:3000',
    admin: {
      user: Users.slug,
    },
    collections: [
      Categories,
      Posts,
      Tags,
      Users,
      Media,
    ],
    typescript: {
      outputFile: path.resolve(__dirname, 'payload-types.ts')
    },
    graphQL: {
      schemaOutputFile: path.resolve(__dirname, 'generated-schema.graphql'),
    },
  });

  
  

  
  

  This is my dockerfile

  
  

  # syntax=docker/dockerfile:1
  FROM node:18-alpine as base
  
  FROM base as builder
  
  WORKDIR /home/node
  COPY package*.json ./
  
  COPY . .
  RUN npm ci
  RUN npm run build
  
  FROM base as runtime
  
  ENV NODE_ENV=production
  
  WORKDIR /home/node
  COPY package*.json  ./
  
  RUN npm i --omit dev
  COPY --from=builder /home/node/dist ./dist
  COPY --from=builder /home/node/build ./build
  COPY --from=builder /home/node/src/generated-schema.graphql ./dist/generated-schema.graphql
  EXPOSE 3000
  
  CMD ["node", "dist/server.js"]

  
  

  
  

  After taking that

  graphQL

  piece of configuration then i get a different error

  Do you think it could be the node version? might give that a try, but seems like when registering the schema if falls over

  We had some issues recently due to some version issues with some incompatibilities of different GraphQL dependencies. I think that is what you are up against here.

  
  

  
  

  I don't think it is your node version. Switching to

  yarn

  might fix this in the short term.

  
  

  
  

  This is the thread that makes me think it could be related

  https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/discussions/1856

  . Without digging in more I'm not sure.

  
  

  
  

  Feel free to open an issue on our Github too, we do bugfixes on Mondays each week and if this is anyone using npm for Payload then we need to address it.

  Ok will do, wouldnt have expected it to be an NPM issue but hopefully you can figure it out

  
  

  
  

      "overrides": {
          "graphql": ">15.7.0 <16.7.0"
       }

  
  

  
  

  That block and rebuilding the

  package-lock.json

  solved it

  
  

  
  

  There must be something in the dependency tree that is lower than 15.7.0 and is causing that incorrect string parsing
