Next.js Invalid left-hand side in assignment when using compile + generate build commands

[m-sanders]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have checked for existing issues https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/issues
• I have reviewed the documentation https://docs.sentry.io/
• I am using the latest SDK release https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/releases

How do you use Sentry?

Sentry Saas (sentry.io)

Which SDK are you using?

@sentry/nextjs

SDK Version

9.22.0

Framework Version

15.3.2

Link to Sentry event

No response

Reproduction Example/SDK Setup

https://github.com/m-sanders/nextjs-sentry-asset-prefix

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new Next.js app
2. Use the Sentry Wizard.
3. Add assetPrefix to next.config.js
4. npm run build -- --experimental-build-mode compile
5. npm run build -- --experimental-build-mode generate

Further information about the experimental mode can be found here and here

Expected Result

A successful build (like with 14.2.2x).

The latest Next.js version that works with these steps is 15.2.5. 15.3.0-canary-0 is the last good working release.

Actual Result

> next build --experimental-build-mode generate
