Error: Failed to find Server Action. This request might be from an older or newer deployment. Original error: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'workers')

[AndreaDelliGatti]

Summary

I'll explain what my problem is.
I have a package in which I expose a client component that calls a server action on a button click.

Now if I use this component in my nextjs application within a server component it works normally.
However, if I use this component within another client component I receive the following error.

Error: Failed to find Server Action. This request might be from an older or newer deployment. Original error: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'workers')

Help me solve this problem. I can't figure it out.

i have this issue too can not find anything on this. did you found already a solution?

[Mnigos]

same

[maikrolf]

you need to add the path of the action function to the first client component before the load, then it will work

[Mnigos]

downgrading from 14.2.8 to 14.2.7 fixed this issue for me.

UPDATE: works with 14.2.10 and 14.2.11

Hey @maikrolf, when you say "add the path of the action function" you refer to importing the action function in the parent client component?
Would you be able to provide a small example?
Thanks!

[maikrolf]

yes import the action file in the client before its called. then it will find the action

"use client"
import { actions } from "./......."

[khuezy]

Seems like a bug with importing, eg:

index.ts

export * from './actions'

actions.ts

'use server'
export async function someAction...

If you import from the index file, then you get the error in the OP. But if you import directly from the actions.ts, then it works.
This didn't error before but now it does.

Hey @khuezy - I can confirm that this issue still happens using the latest 15.0.0-rc.1 version.

@andresg747 maybe you have an old node_modules that needs cleaning up? I would delete it an reinstall. I see that the log still shows rc.0 even though you're on the latest.
I just tested this on the 15.0.0 release and it works. Maybe your setup is different and has an edge case that wasn't fixed?

[andresg747]

You're right. Nice catch.
I'll investigate. Thanks!

[andresg747]

@khuezy @shuding Actually this is the latest occurrence of the error. Confirming we're using v15.0.0-rc.1:

[khuezy]

Can you try w/ 15.0.0? If it still errors, you'll need to provide a min repro.

[benjick]

I get this with 15.1.5

Error: Failed to find Server Action "7ff9225b349ed9316d9c3fc2a461800836da4fd0a1". This request might be from an older or newer deployment. Original error: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'workers')

How can I even track which action it is?

[maikrolf]

you need to call your action.ts in the client before the server action is called

"use client"
import "../action/action.ts" 

something like this

[LikeDreamwalker]

Same at 15.1.2, really weird, and even more this issue won't happen at every request, hard to figure out.

[mattmar10]

Same issue here

That env var hasn't worked for me
