Encountered Static to Dynamic Error in Next.js production build

[MonsterPi13]

Hi, I am encountering the "Static to Dynamic Error" in production after deploying my Next.js project. This error occurs when I publish a new post in Contentful and then visit that post's page on my site.

I believe the issue is related to generateStaticParams function usage in the /writing/[slug] route. Pages are statically generated at build time, but then fail when visiting a page that was not part of the initial build, so it will change into dynamic.

My current workaround is adding export const dynamic = 'force-dynamic' in the page file, but this disables static generation entirely.

I'm looking for advice on the best way to handle this since I'm new to Next.js. Should I redeploy the site every time I publish a new post in order to rebuild all static pages? Or is there a way to incrementally build only new pages? Appreciate any suggestions you may have!

Hi, I'm using Contentful and it supports webhooks. So whenever I publish a blog post, it automatically triggers the deployment process, resulting in the rebuilding of all static pages.

Thank you for your reply. I'm using Contentful for the first time today.

May I ask for some advice regarding webhooks?

Are you adding two webhooks - one to revalidate the /writing route and another to update /writing/[slug] when publishing, unpublishing, or deleting any entries?

I appreciate any guidance you can provide as I get started with leveraging Contentful webhooks appropriately.

i see related revalidate code as blow:

  const path = requestHeaders.get('path') ?? '/'
  revalidatePath(path)

I'm using just one webhook from Contentful and putting it in Vercel to rebuild the whole website to revalidate the cache. And the revalidatePath is only for manually revalidating a specific path.

I'm closing this as it's not an issue. I've recently enabled the Discussions, so if you have any questions, feedback, or ideas, please feel free to reach out to me there. 🤞
