Next.js: SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression: /(?<!node_modules.*)[\\/]node_modules[\\/](react|react-dom|scheduler|prop-types|use-subscription)[\\/]/: Invalid group in webpack-config.js

Hello,
I'm working on MacOS, with NodeJS v8.9.1, npm v6..12.1.
In getting started tutorial, in setup stage, when I get to the "npm run dev" command, I get this error:

[email protected] dev /Users/ronyperez/hello-next
next

[ wait ] starting the development server ...
[ info ] waiting on http://localhost:3000 ...

npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

When I remove (? From tests I've done on regular expression tester online, I get this error about the asterisk:
A quantifier inside a lookbehind makes it non-fixed width

Hopes this helps
