Next js throws this error

TL;DR

• The issue is likely due to incorrect import or export of the Tab component from the Tabs file, causing it to be undefined when used in page.tsx.

Guidance

• Verify that the Tab component is correctly exported from the Tabs.tsx file.
• Check the import statement in page.tsx to ensure it is importing the Tab component correctly from the Tabs file.
• Compare the import and export statements in page.tsx and Tabs.tsx to identify any discrepancies.
• Ensure that there are no circular dependencies or incorrect file paths that could be causing the issue.

Example

// Tabs.tsx
export const Tab = () => { /* component code */ };

// page.tsx
import { Tab } from './Tabs';

Notes

• The issue may be specific to the development mode or the codesandbox setup, so it's essential to verify the imports and exports in both environments.
• The provided code snippets and console logs suggest that the issue is related to the import or export of the Tab component, but further investigation may be needed to identify the root cause.

Recommendation

• Apply workaround: Verify and correct the import and export statements for the Tab component to ensure it is correctly defined and accessible in page.tsx. This should resolve the undefined error and allow the component to render correctly.
