SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Server-side errors in Next.js often appear only in the terminal or server logs, while the browser shows a generic error; this Skill helps diagnose and debug those issues, including getServerSideProps, getStaticProps, and API routes, especially when errors are intermittent or only on refresh.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Surface full stack traces from terminal logs to guide debugging.
  • Provide a step-by-step debugging workflow for common SSR errors in Next.js.
  • Handle scenarios such as errors on refresh, API route 500s without details, and server-side failures across environments.

Quick Start

Run the Next.js SSR debugging workflow on the affected page to surface the actual error from the server logs.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I debug Next.js server-side errors that only show in terminal logs?▼

Next.js API route 500 errors lack browser details because the server swallows the exception. You must check the terminal logs to find the full stack trace and actionable error message to diagnose the server-side code failure.

Why does my Next.js page throw a server error on refresh but work initially?▼

Next.js refresh server errors often stem from intermittent getServerSideProps or getStaticProps failures. Applying a structured debugging workflow surfaces the actual error from terminal logs to identify the root cause of the server-side code failure.

What is the best way to surface full stack traces from Next.js API routes?▼

The best way to surface full stack traces from Next.js API routes is to inspect the terminal or server logs directly. This reveals the actionable error messages hidden from the browser during server-side code failures.

Can I use this debugging workflow for Next.js production-like environments?▼

Yes, this workflow handles server-side failures across both development and production-like environments. It requires access to terminal logs to surface full stack traces from getServerSideProps, getStaticProps, and API routes.

Do I need familiarity with getServerSideProps to debug Next.js SSR errors?▼

Yes, familiarity with getServerSideProps, getStaticProps, and API routes is required. This knowledge combined with terminal log access allows you to surface full stack traces and diagnose hidden server-side errors effectively.
