nextjs - 💡(How to fix) Fix Dev server silently exits (code 0) with cacheComponents + Turbopack on Node 24 [3 comments, 3 participants]

Current: Dev server starts, prints "Ready in ~200ms", then the process exits cleanly (exit code 0). No error message, no stack trace.

Fix Plan

To resolve the issue with Next.js 16.2.0 and Turbopack, where the dev server exits immediately after startup when cacheComponents is enabled, follow these steps:

• Disable Turbopack: Run next dev with the --webpack flag to use the traditional Webpack bundler instead of Turbopack.
• Update Next.js configuration: Alternatively, you can disable cacheComponents in your next.config.mjs file:

// next.config.mjs
const nextConfig = {
  // cacheComponents: true, // Comment out or set to false
};

export default nextConfig;

• Wait for a fix: If you prefer to use Turbopack, monitor the Next.js and styled-components issue trackers for updates on this specific problem.

Verification

To verify that the fix worked:

1. Run next dev --webpack (if using the Webpack workaround).
2. Access your development server in a web browser to ensure it stays running and serves requests.
3. Check the terminal output for the "Ready" message without an immediate exit.

Extra Tips

• Keep your dependencies up-to-date, as fixes for such issues are often included in newer versions of Next.js, React, and other relevant packages.
• Consider contributing to or following the relevant issue trackers for Next.js and styled-components to stay informed about fixes and workarounds for similar problems.
