Root Cause

In Next.js middleware, the headers() function is called after other request processing, causing a race condition where the request context is no longer available.

generic

中文

在 Next.js 中间件中，headers() 函数在其他请求处理之后调用，导致请求上下文不再可用的竞态条件。

Workarounds

  1. 85% success Call headers() at the very beginning of the middleware function before any other async operations or conditionals. 
    Call headers() at the very beginning of the middleware function before any other async operations or conditionals.
  2. 75% success If using multiple middleware functions, ensure headers() is only called in the first middleware and pass the result via request headers or locals.

  3. 90% success Upgrade to Next.js 15 where the middleware API has been updated to handle headers() more robustly.

中文步骤

  1. 在中间件函数的开头，在任何其他异步操作或条件语句之前调用 headers()。
  2. 如果使用多个中间件函数，确保只在第一个中间件中调用 headers()，并通过请求头或本地变量传递结果。
  3. 升级到 Next.js 15，其中中间件 API 已更新以更稳健地处理 headers()。

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 70% fail

    This does not fix the root cause; the error still occurs but is silenced, leading to undefined headers.

  2. 85% fail

    headers() must be synchronous and called immediately; async wrappers lose the request context.

  3. 90% fail

    This is a syntax error, not a timing issue; it doesn't address the race condition.
