Describe the Bug

If I'm importing any global CSS file in _app.tsx the build is failing with the following error:

./styles/globals.css
Global CSS cannot be imported from files other than your Custom <App>. Due to the Global nature of stylesheets, and to avoid conflicts, Please move all first-party global CSS imports to pages/_app.js. Or convert the import to Component-Level CSS (CSS Modules).

The issue is probably due to: #28279 as the code is working fine on older canary versions (v11.1.1-canary.11 and below). Below are the complete logs:

UPDATE:

The same error is on JS projects too:

./styles/globals.css

void conflicts, Please move all first-party global CSS imports to pages/_app.js. Or convert the import to Component-Leve

The only difference I can see now is the path separator.

ANOTHER UPDATE:

The code is working fine on POSIX environments. This is indeed an issue with path separator.

Expected Behavior

The build should succeed (would be better if without warnings).

To Reproduce

yarn create next-app --ts foobar
cd foobar
yarn add next@canary
yarn build

[awareness481]

yarn create next-app --ts foobar
cd foobar
yarn add next@canary
yarn build

Can't reproduce following these steps (I'm on Linux if that matters)

[brc-dd]

yarn create next-app --ts foobar
cd foobar
yarn add next@canary
yarn build

@awareness481 Yeah I just tested it on Linux. It is working fine for me too. It appears to be an issue with path separators.

Just reproduced the error on Windows 👍

This error made it to v.11.1.1 release. Windows 10 computer.

[oceandrama]

Can confirm this issue. It brokes dev and build commands

Hi, this should be updated in the latest canary of Next.js v11.1.2-canary.0, please update and give it a try!
