Bug

For an extension-style page route (pages/vector-a.tsx, no index.tsx folder), the client requested /_vf_modules/pages/vector-a/index.js404, and the server logged a misleading Module not found modulePath=pages/vector-a/index.js (#3667).

Root cause

The Pages Router client loads <route>.js and, on failure, retries <route>/index.js — a route may be authored as either <route>.tsx or <route>/index.tsx (loadPageModuleWithIndexFallback, runtime/renderer.ts). That retry was unconditional. So when <route>.js loaded but threw at evaluation — e.g. the server→client adapter leak in #3661 dereferencing a browser-absent fs.constants.O_NOFOLLOW — the client still probed the sibling <route>/index.js, which 404s for an extension-style route and stacked a confusing "module not found" on top of the real error.

The masking itself is already guarded by preferReachedModuleError (the #3003 fix), so the real error survives — but the spurious /index.js probe still fires and pollutes the console/dev log. Confirmed against main: the O_NOFOLLOW eval error is thrown correctly, yet both <route>.js and <route>/index.js are requested.

Fix

A module that ran far enough to throw its own runtime error is the served file, so the sibling <route>/index.js probe can only 404. Skip the retry in exactly that case — isReachedModuleEvaluationError: an Error that is neither a SyntaxError (never linked — a missing export, or a proxy's HTML shell) nor a fetch failure (isModuleNotFoundError).

This deliberately keeps the retry for the two cases it exists to recover, both pinned by existing tests:

  • <route>.js genuinely missing → retry finds <route>/index.js;
  • a proxy rewriting a miss into an HTML shell (surfaces as SyntaxError) → retry (the case that made gating-on-wording blank-page routes).

Tests (red→green)

Added does not probe /index.js when <route>.js reached a module and threw at evaluation to renderer-modules.test.ts: asserts only <route>.js is requested and the real TypeError surfaces. Fails on main (2 requests), passes with the fix. All existing retry/error-selection tests stay green (25 steps). Regenerated hydration-runtime.generated.ts.

Closes #3667. The underlying eval crash it surfaced is the leak tracked in #3661.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved page loading when JavaScript modules are unavailable, including better handling for Safari’s module-loading errors.
    • Prevented unnecessary fallback requests when a page module loads successfully but fails during execution.
    • Preserved the original runtime error to make failures more accurate and easier to diagnose.
    • Avoided triggering fallback behavior for unrelated errors that merely contain similar wording.

The Pages Router client loads <route>.js and, on failure, retries
<route>/index.js because a route may be authored as either <route>.tsx or
<route>/index.tsx. That retry fired unconditionally — so when <route>.js
loaded and threw at *evaluation* (e.g. the server→client adapter leak in
#3661 dereferencing a browser-absent O_NOFOLLOW), the client still probed
the sibling <route>/index.js, which 404s for an extension-style route and
put a misleading "module not found" on top of the real error (#3667).

A module that ran far enough to throw its own runtime error is the served
file, so the sibling probe can only 404. Skip the retry in exactly that
case (`isReachedModuleEvaluationError`), while keeping it for the
missing-module and proxy-HTML-shell rejections it exists to recover — the
cases pinned by the existing retry tests.

Regenerated hydration-runtime.generated.ts.

Closes #3667.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The renderer now distinguishes module evaluation failures from missing-module failures. It skips the /index.js retry for evaluation errors, preserves Safari’s exact "Load failed" fallback, and adds regression tests for both behaviors.

Changes

Pages Router module fallback handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Dynamic-import error classification
src/html/hydration-script-builder/runtime/renderer.ts
The renderer recognizes Safari’s exact bare "Load failed" message as a missing-module error. It identifies non-syntax errors from modules that reached evaluation.
Fallback decision and regression coverage
src/html/hydration-script-builder/runtime/renderer.ts, src/html/hydration-script-builder/runtime/renderer-modules.test.ts
The Pages Router skips /index.js after a module evaluation failure. Tests verify error preservation, Safari fallback, and rejection of unrelated TypeErrors.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1d9e3

The change prevents unnecessary fallback requests for most module evaluation failures, but two edge cases can still cause an extra /index.js request and obscure the original failure: a punctuated Safari error message and non-Error thrown values. The PR is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner follow-up on these bounded cases.

Comment thread src/html/hydration-script-builder/runtime/renderer.ts
Two findings, both right.

The match allowed an optional trailing period. Safari's message has none,
so the latitude only widened the match past the engine wording, and an
application error is free to end in a full stop. Now exact.

A rejection that is not an Error can only come from module code that ran:
the loader's own failures reject with TypeError or SyntaxError. Returning
false for a thrown string or null sent the loader after <route>/index.js,
which can only 404 and bury the throw. Both now refuse the retry, with a
test each.
