Using res.redirect with next v9.5.0

[simonuvarov]

Hi,

I've updated next to the latest version (9.5.0) and one of the new features was that now it support res.redirect helper function similar to Express. However, when I tried to use it during SSR, it gave me an error:

TypeError: res.redirect is not a function

I took examples from this commit. Even though those changes were undone later, I suppose that now, when this feature is released, it should work.

My code:

export const getServerSideProps = async context => {
  const { req, res } = context;
  const session = await getCurrentSession({ req });

  if (session) {
    res.redirect('/dashboard');
    return;
  }
  return { props: {} };
};

What do I do wrong?

Thanks,
Simon

These helpers are only available in API routes

Okay, thank you for the reply. I got confused because the commit I mentioned used them in the getServerSideProps function.

Looks like that's a bug actually, those example updates should be reverted.

[simonuvarov]

They are. That was a pre-revert commit 🙂

With next 9.4 i have this error inside api routes as well.
