Fixing “next_redirect” error in Next.js

The “Error: NEXT_REDIRECT” in Next.js can happen for several reasons. It usually arises from mishandling client-side navigation or misconfigs in routing logic. We must correct these issues by following proper navigation practices and reviewing routing configs. This resolves the error effectively. We’ll look into some of the main causes and how to fix them in the following section:

1. Calling redirect() inside a try…catch block can lead to the NEXT_REDIRECT error.

Fix: Move the redirect() call outside of the try…catch block, ensuring it’s after handling any errors.

2. Incorrect usage of res.redirect() in API routes. Using res.redirect() incorrectly or after the response has been sent in API routes.

Fix: Use the correct syntax for res.redirect() and ensure it’s called before sending any other response to the client.

3. Misconfig in redirect rules as well as logic causing a loop where redirected URLs lead back to the original URL.

Fix: Review and correct redirect rules in next.config.js and dynamic redirect logic in order to avoid infinite loops.

4. Incorrect usage of redirect() in Next.js pre-rendering methods.

Fix: Use these methods for data fetching and pre-rendering only. Handle redirects correctly in route handlers or API routes.
