Description

I am unable to get @fastify/nextjs to render an error page.

Everything else works perfectly, except for the error page rendering.

The error handler is being called, and it logs “error handler called”. However, the request keeps loading indefinitely until it eventually times out.

I have tried various approaches, such as returning the error, making the error a string, returning JSON, and more. Despite these efforts, the request just hangs without any further errors.

Here is my code:

import type { Theme } from "@discord-dashboard/typings";
import type { Dashboard } from "@discord-dashboard/core";

import FastifyNextJS from "@fastify/nextjs";
import * as path from "node:path";

export default class BaseTheme extends Theme {
    name = "Base";

    async Initialize(dashboard: Dashboard) {
        await dashboard.fastify.register(FastifyNextJS, {
            logLevel: dashboard.Environment.log_level,
            dir: path.join(__dirname, "../")
        });

        dashboard.fastify.next('/fugg', async (app, request, reply) => {
            throw new Error("me");
        });

        dashboard.fastify.setErrorHandler(async (error, request, reply) => {
            console.log("error handler called");
            await reply.nextRenderError(error);
        });
    }
}

Expected Behavior

It is expected to render an error page.

I have a rough feeling we would need to deprecate this module. Some of the intricacies of Next.js are too hard to overcome :(.
