SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Server-side errors in Next.js don't appear in the browser console, making debugging difficult when the real issue is hidden in server logs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Terminal-first debugging: view full stack traces from Next.js server runs.
  • Stepwise remediation: identify and fix issues in getServerSideProps, getStaticProps, and API routes.
  • Use Case: when a page shows a generic error while the console is quiet, use this workflow to reveal the root cause.

Quick Start

Open your terminal with the Next.js dev server running and follow the steps to locate the error in terminal output.

FAQPage Schema
How do I debug Next.js server-side errors when the browser console is empty?

Debug Next.js server-side errors by checking the terminal running the dev server, where full stack traces from getServerSideProps and API routes are printed. The browser console remains quiet because these errors occur server-side.

Why does my Next.js page show a generic error on direct navigation but works client-side?

Generic errors on direct navigation or refresh often stem from getServerSideProps or getStaticProps failures. Investigate the terminal output during server runs to locate the explicit server-side error handling issue.

What is the best way to get full stack traces for Next.js API routes?

Get full stack traces for Next.js API routes by enforcing terminal-first investigation. Run the dev server and observe the terminal output to capture detailed error logs that the browser omits.

How do I fix errors in getServerSideProps that only appear in production logs?

Fix getServerSideProps errors by checking production logs for server-side failures. Apply stepwise remediation to identify common causes and verify the fix by ensuring the terminal shows no further errors.

Can I use terminal-first debugging for Next.js getStaticProps errors?

Yes, terminal-first debugging works for getStaticProps errors. Running the Next.js dev server reveals full stack traces in the terminal, allowing you to identify and fix build-time or request-time server-side issues.
