SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps developers diagnose and resolve Next.js server-side errors that do not appear in the browser console.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Check terminal logs for full stack traces when SSR errors occur
  • Add explicit server-side error handling around getServerSideProps, getStaticProps, and API routes
  • Verify hosting provider logs (Vercel, AWS, Netlify, self-hosted) for production issues

Quick Start

Run your Next.js app in development, reproduce the error, and review the terminal stack trace. Then add try-catch blocks around server-side code to surface the actual error, and check hosting provider logs for production issues.

FAQPage Schema
How do I debug Next.js server-side errors that don't show up in the browser console?

Debug hidden Next.js server-side errors by running your app in development mode and reviewing the terminal logs for full stack traces, since errors in getServerSideProps or API routes execute server-side and bypass the browser console.

Why does my Next.js app throw an error on page refresh but not during client-side navigation?

Page refreshes trigger direct server-side execution of getServerSideProps or getStaticProps, causing hidden server-side errors to surface; add explicit try-catch blocks around this code to reveal the actual error.

How do I add error handling to Next.js API routes and getServerSideProps?

Wrap your server-side code in getServerSideProps, getStaticProps, and API routes with explicit try-catch blocks to capture and surface the actual server-side errors instead of letting them fail silently.

Can I check server-side errors for Next.js apps deployed on Vercel, AWS, and Netlify?

Yes, you can verify hosting provider logs across Vercel, AWS, Netlify, and self-hosted environments to diagnose production server-side errors that occur during server-side rendering and API route execution.

What is the best way to diagnose production-only Next.js SSR errors?

The best way to diagnose production Next.js SSR errors is to check your hosting provider's logs, such as Vercel or AWS, while ensuring your local development terminal logs are reviewed to reproduce the issue.
