nextjs - 💡(How to fix) Fix next .js [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The middleware file might be ignored due to incorrect configuration or file placement in the Next.js App Router setup.

Guidance

• Verify that the middleware.js file is correctly placed in the project root and exported as a default export or named export that Next.js can recognize.
• Check the Next.js documentation for the correct configuration of middleware in an App Router setup, ensuring that the matcher property is correctly defined and the middleware function is properly exported.
• Confirm that the next/server module is correctly imported and used in the middleware.js file.
• Try to simplify the middleware function to only log a message or return a response, to isolate if the issue is with the function itself or the configuration.

Example

// middleware.js
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server';

export async function middleware(request) {
  console.log("--- MIDDLEWARE IS RUNNING ---");
  return NextResponse.next();
}

Notes

The provided information suggests that the issue might be related to the configuration or placement of the middleware file, but without more details about the project structure and configuration, it's difficult to provide a more specific solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try to simplify the middleware configuration and function to isolate the issue, and then gradually add back the original functionality to identify the root cause.
