Describe the bug

This is the complete error trace - https://gist.github.com/shricodev/6c9078d781ba5c4d62d420d16765c025

Steps already taken

After going through the issues section in this repo, I found a closed issue that addressed this error. I tried dynamic importing the modules as shown here. This did not fix it either, or perhaps I missed something.

My repo state in which the error is observed - https://github.com/shricodev/pdfwhisper-openai/tree/50705dd06f9c78327f1a5241c91845d0daad4c5f

However, I found a fix to use

export const dynamic = "force-dynamic";

in layout.tsx to fix the error that was not letting me build the application. But, on running

pnpm run start

The error is again seen in the console:

❯ pnpm run start

> docwhisper-openai@0.1.0 start C:\Users\reali\OneDrive\Desktop\codes\docwhisper-openai
> next start

Hey @shricodev dynamic import importing the component when using it, fixes this issue. Have you tried that

import dynamic from 'next/dynamic';
const HankoAuth = dynamic(() => import('@/components/HankoAuth'), { ssr: false })

export default function LoginPage() {
 return (
   <HankoAuth />
 );
}

You can also find it in the docs, it has been updated
https://docs.hanko.io/quickstarts/fullstack/next

@Ashutosh-Bhadauriya I have already tried dynamically importing the <Hanko-Auth> component, but it did not work either. I have mentioned it here.

After going through the issues section in this repo, I found a closed issue that addressed this error. I tried dynamic importing the modules as shown #1020 (comment). This did not fix it either, or perhaps I missed something.

This is the code that renders <HankoAuth /> and <HankoProfile />

import dynamic from "next/dynamic";
// This is imported dynamically to get rid of a hanko bug.
// ReferenceError: CustomEvent is not defined
const HankoAuth = dynamic(() => import("@/components/HankoAuth/HankoAuth"), {
  ssr: false,
});

export default function LoginPage() {
  return (
    <div className="flex min-h-screen items-center justify-center">
      <HankoAuth />
    </div>
  );
}

import dynamic from "next/dynamic";
import type { ComponentType } from "react";

// These are imported dynamically to get rid of a hanko bug.
// ReferenceError: CustomEvent is not defined
const HankoProfile = dynamic(
  () => import("@/components/HankoProfile/HankoProfile"),
  {
    ssr: false,
  },
);
import LogoutButton from "@/components/HankoLogout/LogoutBotton";

type Props = {};

const Page: ComponentType<Props> = (props) => {
  return (
    <div className="mx-auto flex w-fit flex-col justify-center space-y-6 px-6">
      <HankoProfile />
      <LogoutButton />
    </div>
  );
};

export default Page;

PS: I have also tried dynamic importing the <HankoLogout /> component. It didn't work.
Could you please try checking in the existing codebase that might be throwing this error even when everything is done as mentioned? I may have missed something\
