How to fix or disable this error in production mode "An error occurred in the Server Components render..."

[dhayford92]

An error occurred in the Server Components render. The specific message is omitted in production builds to avoid leaking sensitive details. A digest property is included on this error instance which may provide additional details about the nature of the error.

This error happends in production mode

This is how what i want to see

and this what I get

In my actions fold for the login code (Server Side)

In my login page function (Client Side)

You have to look at the logs of your app, with the digest number you get in the error.

That being said, I guess, the issue is at the login step. Could you add more logs to the login?

[dhayford92]

I have gotten a solution to it. So, the issue comes from the error logging to the terminal. In production nextjs try to protect the app from releasing sensitive information to client because it cannot tell if the error is internal or external.
For example:
If the error is coming from a third-party service, you are using it might contain sensitive info like api-key, user ids, etc.

So, the solution was to find a different method to log the error to the user.

"client side code (login page function)"

"Server side code (Action)"

This is not a solution. This is just hiding exception.

[Paiman-Rasoli]

Although this solution does not make sense but still we can send error message as a response but I liked to throw error instead of returning the message.

"Server side code (Action)"

Did you find a solution apart from hiding exception?

I resolve and below in my case make this commit message

[FIX] (Ticketing): Fixed invalid ID handling in ticket query

Motivation:

• The bug prevented users from creating new tickets, since the form attempted to load ticket data even when no ID was provided (creation mode).
• This fixes a critical production issue where users experienced a generic “Server Components render” error when trying to access the ticket form, affecting the core functionality of the ticketing system.

Details:

• Updated the useGetTicketById hook to run the query conditionally only when a valid ID is provided.
• Added the enabled property in the query configuration to prevent unnecessary API calls when no ID is present.
• This decision was made because the hook was being executed unconditionally in both ticket creation and editing modes, causing server errors.

Impact:

• Affects only the ticketing module, specifically the ticket creation and editing forms.
• No significant risks, as the change is defensive and improves stability without altering existing business logic.
• Users can now create tickets without errors, and editing continues to function normally.

Refs:

• Reported error: “An error occurred in the Server Components render. The specific message is omitted in production builds to avoid leaking sensitive details. A digest property is included on this error instance which may provide additional details about the nature of the error.”

did you solve it ??
i had the same issue and the solution was
const res = await fetch(process.env.BACKEND + "/products/get" + "?page=" + pageNumber + "&&storePage=true", { cache: "no-store", });
i had to add the cache:"no-store" option to the fetch request
😡😡

[editoworkbeaver]

I have same issue right now :(
I hope your solution will work. I will let you know

[tansut]

This does not make sense. It's developer's responsibility to hide technical messages. In my case I have a BusinessError class inheriting from Error. This error type should be visible in client as is since I create messages for user :)

There are solutions like returning some kind of object like:

{ status: "OK", result = ...} or { status: "Error", value: "Invalid usr/pwd combination }

But in this case you cannot design a centralized error management/logging on server. You have to use try/catch statements inside all server actions.

I created an issue.

Make Server Component Error Serialization Configurable

[dhayford92]

Yes, I have a solution

can you share your solution?

The larger issue at hand is the lack of dev/prod parity, and this goes against the "principle of least astonishment." I have some sympathy for the fact that the Next team doesn't allow exceptions to flow through to the client (although I believe this should be a config option).

But the part that I am troubled by is why my dev environment differs from production. This does not give me confidence that there aren't other land mines in my codebase! As developers, we expect our local environment to mimic production as closely as possible when possible. Local development in this instance should show the same exception that production does. Much of this problem goes away because teams handle server-side errors differently from the start.

[reginpv]

Im also stuck here! ugh

[2-fly-4-ai]

This is such trash tier logic. Such a pain in the ass trying to diagnose my errors now in Cloudflare workers. Makes it near impossible to get reliable error messages without workarounds. What a flop.

[markbulingit]

Man I've had to update FIFTY!!! FIVE-ZERO Server Actions because of this!!! I lost confidence on my codebase :(

[sonkiee]

anybody find the fix? i have the same issue, and none of the solutions here worked for me so far

[dragosrotaru]

I strongly agree with what @tansut and @kelvanb97 have to say. 50 server actions to update? must be nice haha I've got 294 to do 😭

My digest was: 'DYNAMIC_SERVER_USAGE'
It took me waaaay too long to figure out there is a page describing what the heck this means!

TL;DR

• I inherited a codebase
• Dynamic routes were being prerendered, but shouldn't have been, but were able to get away with it for some reason
• I needed to make NextAuth async, and all hell broke loose
• I told it to stop prerendering (amongst other things)
• Now it works

It did NOT help that my build pipeline was succeeding but the environment was technically invalid and Dokploy was silently falling back to my most recent successful deployment. I wish it had been louder about that, but falling back is the desired behavior.

Additional Context

Because I didn't realize my VPS wasn't serving my most recent code, I ended up making plenty of changes without really knowing where I could have stopped and it would have started working.

Based on reviewing the doc, my best guess is that disabling pre-rendering was the main fix.

I had no clue where or how the Async Context was being used improperly.

Changes I made

• Migrate from Next 15 to Next 16: Used @next/codemod to do it
• Updated other dependencies: React, NextAuth, Prisma, @prisma/adapter-pg, @prisma/client, nodemailer
• Enforced Node 22: via environment variable. I was building with railpack, and it was defaulting to Node 18, even though I added an "engines.node" prop to my package.json
• Stop pre-rendering and force dynamic: Not sure why the previous dev was so aggressively pre-rendering pages with dynamic data

Changes to the page giving 500 error

I'm not as familiar with Next.js, so I tasked an LLM with searching for issues. That resulted in changes to the src/item/[id]/page.tsx that was getting a 500 errors. Basically worked out to:

- 'use server';
+ export const dynamic = 'force-dynamic';
- export const generateMetadata = async () { ... };
- export async function generateStaticParams() { ... }
const Item = async () { ... };
export default Item;

So, just telling it to stop doing anything other than render the page.

Deeper issues when transitioning more data to be async

A part of my project was to transition off environments variables for the nodemailer settings, and transition to dynamic ones that could be controlled in an admin panel.
That had knock-on effects with NextAuth, and I had to go through many iterations to get it to load asynchronously.
Ultimately, I think this is what started the problems.
