To Reproduce

Navigate to a page

Describe the Bug

It's very rare, but we sometimes get "Error: Connection closed." errors that crash the whole page, on navigation to a page. "Application error: a client-side exception has occurred" appears. It seems to happen when traffic to our website is low. Our website is hosted on Vercel and we're using app dir.

It originates from either here:
https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/aef7ce5547c9489dc48e31f69b002cd17206e0cb/packages/react-server/src/ReactFlightReplyServer.js#L579
or here:
https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/aef7ce5547c9489dc48e31f69b002cd17206e0cb/packages/react-server/src/ReactFlightReplyServer.js#L579

Expected Behavior

This shouldn't happen, or at least show the error.tsx error boundary.

Which browser are you using? (if relevant)

No response

How are you deploying your application? (if relevant)

Vercel

I have the same error. I use [email protected], middleware from next-intl, appDir and next/image + sharp. Deploying on my own ubuntu server with pm2. Same error in console and i see error.tsx boundary

We cannot recreate the issue with the provided information. Please add a reproduction in order for us to be able to investigate.

Why was this issue marked with the please add a complete reproduction label?

To be able to investigate, we need access to a reproduction to identify what triggered the issue. We prefer a link to a public GitHub repository (template for pages, template for App Router), but you can also use these templates: CodeSandbox: pages or CodeSandbox: App Router.

To make sure the issue is resolved as quickly as possible, please make sure that the reproduction is as minimal as possible. This means that you should remove unnecessary code, files, and dependencies that do not contribute to the issue.

Please test your reproduction against the latest version of Next.js (next@canary) to make sure your issue has not already been fixed.

I added a link, why was it still marked?

Ensure the link is pointing to a codebase that is accessible (e.g. not a private repository). "example.com", "n/a", "will add later", etc. are not acceptable links -- we need to see a public codebase. See the above section for accepted links.

What happens if I don't provide a sufficient minimal reproduction?

Issues with the please add a complete reproduction label that receives no meaningful activity (e.g. new comments with a reproduction link) are automatically closed and locked after 30 days.

If your issue has not been resolved in that time and it has been closed/locked, please open a new issue with the required reproduction.

I did not open this issue, but it is relevant to me, what can I do to help?

Anyone experiencing the same issue is welcome to provide a minimal reproduction following the above steps. Furthermore, you can upvote the issue using the 👍 reaction on the topmost comment (please do not comment "I have the same issue" without reproduction steps). Then, we can sort issues by votes to prioritize.

I think my reproduction is good enough, why aren't you looking into it quicker?

We look into every Next.js issue and constantly monitor open issues for new comments.

However, sometimes we might miss one or two due to the popularity/high traffic of the repository. We apologize, and kindly ask you to refrain from tagging core maintainers, as that will usually not result in increased priority.

Upvoting issues to show your interest will help us prioritize and address them as quickly as possible. That said, every issue is important to us, and if an issue gets closed by accident, we encourage you to open a new one linking to the old issue and we will look into it.

@balazsorban44 fully understand this is not reproducible, but due to the lack of useful information in the stack trace and the size of our project I can't really make a minimal reproduction. Can we not lock this issue to collect more feedback from other users?

[Dexdot]

@hansottowirtz try to add export const dynamic = 'force-static'; it helped me

Can we not lock this issue to collect more feedback from other users?

Unfortunately this issue won't be actionable unless a reproduction is provided. If none is provided the issue will be auto-closed. A new issue can be opened with a reproduction if anyone else runs into it.

I also get this error, have no idea to boil it down, but am trying.

[phishy]

It only happens on Vercel though, and not locally, so it's difficult. I can see that clicking on a link creates a network request, but the page does not render, and if I wait long enough get a "Connection closed" error

[phishy]

Actually, it looks like a function is getting stuck rendering, then finally times out after 1 minute. The request id is nowhere to be seen in the logs.

[ivanhueso]

Hi, I'm gettin the same issue.
It happen once in a while in any page. Lets say I'm 5 minutes clicking and testing each page and at some point I get this error:
Error: Connection closed.

Then i reload and everything is fine again.
This is happening on Vercel as @phishy mentioned, and also in Heroku (what I'm using).
Best

Hi, this might be related to #50060 which has been updated in v13.4.4-canary.10 of Next.js, please update and give it a try!

[mark-liner]

Same problem happens in v13.4.4-carnay.10, 11 and also v13.4.5.

[mark-liner]

For me, it happens on streaming rendering.
It happens more frequently when I try streaming with more than two React Suspense in parallel.

[Ruebs]

Ran into this same issue. Adding the following to any page that was using Suspense fixed it for us:

export const revalidate = 0;

Good luck!

[elliotwestlake]

Also getting the same issue. @Ruebs's comment didn't seem to help my issue. I have 3 Suspense's rendering on the page. One from loading.tsx and the others manually.

I have tested removing one of the suspenses and that seems to resolve the issue. Only trouble is now that is a blocking call.

[ijjk]

Hi, a fix has been landed in react (related PR facebook/react#26871) for this and has now been applied in the latest version of Next.js (related PR #50604)

Please update and give it a try!
