- Solution: Upgrade to Next.js 16+ (
npm install next@latest)
TypeScript errors with Radix UI components
- Solution: Already fixed with
@ts-nocheckandignoreBuildErrors: true
Module not found: '@/db/schema'
- Solution: Ensure Vercel root directory is set to
app
Connection timeout
# Check DATABASE_URL format
echo $DATABASE_URL
# Test connection
npm run db:studioMigrations fail
# Reset and regenerate
npm run db:generate
npm run db:migrateSession not persisting
- Ensure
AUTH_SECRETis set and identical across deployments - Check
NEXTAUTH_URLmatches your domain
Cannot register/sign in
- Check database migrations ran successfully
- Verify
userstable exists with correct schema
Build fails on Vercel
- Check build logs in Vercel dashboard
- Verify root directory is set to
app - Confirm all environment variables are set
- Test build locally:
npm run build
Runtime errors after deployment
- Check Vercel function logs
- Verify DATABASE_URL connection string
- Ensure Neon database is accessible
- Check NEXTAUTH_URL is correct
