Error: Failed to find Server Action. This request might be from an older or newer deployment. Original error: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'workers')

[AndreaDelliGatti]

Summary

I'll explain what my problem is.
I have a package in which I expose a client component that calls a server action on a button click.

Now if I use this component in my nextjs application within a server component it works normally.
However, if I use this component within another client component I receive the following error.

Error: Failed to find Server Action. This request might be from an older or newer deployment. Original error: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'workers')

Help me solve this problem. I can't figure it out.

[Mnigos]

same

[maikrolf]

you need to add the path of the action function to the first client component before the load, then it will work

downgrading from 14.2.8 to 14.2.7 fixed this issue for me.

UPDATE: works with 14.2.10 and 14.2.11

Hey @maikrolf, when you say "add the path of the action function" you refer to importing the action function in the parent client component?
Would you be able to provide a small example?
Thanks!

[maikrolf]

yes import the action file in the client before its called. then it will find the action

"use client"
import { actions } from "./......."

Seems like a bug with importing, eg:

index.ts

export * from './actions'

actions.ts

'use server'
export async function someAction...

If you import from the index file, then you get the error in the OP. But if you import directly from the actions.ts, then it works.
This didn't error before but now it does.

cc @shuding (sorry for the ping)

[maikrolf]

sorry your right,

you can just use
import '@/actions
in my case and have a default export

Thanks for flagging. I opened #70317 to address it, will bring up to our team!
