Next.js prerender error during build

Prerender Error with Next.js

Next.js hit an error while prerendering a page during next build, usually because a page depends on browser-only APIs, missing props, or incorrect static generation setup.

Observed message

Prerender Error with Next.js

Why it happens

  • A component uses browser-only APIs during prerendering.
  • A page expects props that are not available at build time.
  • The static generation configuration is incorrect for the route.
  • The file structure includes invalid page or colocated files in the wrong place.

How to fix it

  1. Move browser-only logic behind client-side boundaries or runtime checks.
  2. Confirm that all required props are produced during prerendering.
  3. Review getStaticProps, getStaticPaths, or App Router data access for build-time compatibility.
  4. Check that page files and route structure match the framework rules.
