The INFINITE_LOOP_DETECTED error occurs when an infinite loop is detected within the application. This error can occur when the application is making an infinite number of requests to itself, or when the application is making an infinite number of requests to an external API or database.
INFINITE_LOOP_DETECTED:
Loop Detected
I'm encountering an error and reviewing the docs at /flg~eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9._f7-_Q.aLshWgEUE6ojPp04N4BtT6a6AWogzpNuUOl9oVyUX70/docs/errors/INFINITE_LOOP_DETECTED to understand what's happening.
Please help me resolve this by:
1. **Suggest the fix**: Analyze my codebase context and propose what needs to be changed to resolve this error
2. **Explain the root cause**: Break down why this error occurred:
- What was the code actually doing vs. what it needed to do?
- What conditions triggered this specific error?
- What misconception or oversight led to this?
3. **Teach the concept**: Help me understand the underlying principle:
- Why does this error exist and what is it protecting me from?
- What's the correct mental model for this concept?
- How does this fit into the broader framework/language design?
4. **Show warning signs**: Help me recognize this pattern in the future:
- What should I look out for that might cause this again?
- Are there similar mistakes I might make in related scenarios?
- What code smells or patterns indicate this issue?
5. **Discuss alternatives**: Explain if there are different valid approaches and their trade-offs
My goal is to fix the immediate issue while building lasting understanding so I can avoid and resolve similar errors independently in the future.
To troubleshoot this error, follow these steps:
- Check the application's source code: Look for any code that might cause an infinite loop, such as a looping fetch or an unconditional redirect
- Check the application's configuration: Review any configuration files, such as
next.config.js or vercel.json, to ensure they are not causing the infinite loop
- Review external API or database calls: Ensure that any external API or database calls your application is making do not have errors or infinite loops
- Handle unhandled exceptions: Check the application logs for any unhandled exceptions that might be causing the infinite loop
- Use Vercel's status page: If you have tried the steps above and are still experiencing the error, check Vercel's status page for any reported outages in the CDN, which can sometimes cause this error
