nextjs 15: (ecmascript)}.createContext) is not a function

[megacherry]

Describe the bug

I've created a composable api like in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJ3rW85fnKo

But if i want to build my next app i get the following error:

TypeError: (0 , i.useFieldContext) is not a function
    at c (...\vcs\apps\next\.next\server\pages\auth\reset-password.js:1:9309)

So i tried it with a repro (https://github.com/megacherry/repro-tanstack-form) and get the following error on pnpm dev:

I've probably made a mistake and just don't see it. I have not found a comparable error in the issues.

Hi, I have just encounter the same issue, and it turned out I missed:

'use client'

//...

To figure it out I did some experiment and copied some code to my project directly and then got an different error message that I tried to use createContext() on server rendering and the context obviously can only be set on client side. Not sure if it is related to your case.

[megacherry]

Thanks for your tip. Tried that and it makes no difference.

[Balastrong]

The form must be on a client component, in your demo the error goes away if you add "use client" on page.tsx.

Ideally you would do that on the component where the form is.

[megacherry]

Ah ok, thx. But @Balastrong, in my production env i use pages router (i think there is not use client necessary). Should i upload another repro?

[Balastrong]

With the pages router I honestly have never tried myself, if you have a repro to share that would help a lot, thanks!
