📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

A new server.js file establishes a Next.js HTTP server with integrated error handling and WebSocket initialization. The server prepares the Next.js application, creates an HTTP server to route requests through Next's request handler, initializes a WebSocket server on the same underlying instance, and begins listening on the configured port.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Server Bootstrap
server.js
New file that initializes a Next.js HTTP server with request parsing, exception handling, WebSocket server setup, and startup logging. Delegates incoming requests to Next's handle() method and catches errors with 500 status responses.

1-41: Consider adding graceful shutdown handlers.

There are no SIGTERM/SIGINT handlers to close the HTTP server and WebSocket connections cleanly. In containerized/orchestrated environments this can lead to dropped in-flight requests and abrupt WS closures (clients see 1006 instead of a clean close). A small handler that calls server.close() and iterates wss.clients to close them with code 1001 ("Going Away") improves resilience.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Coerce PORT to a number.

process.env.PORT is a string when defined, so port becomes a string in that case and a number otherwise. Next.js's next({ port }) option is typed as number, and passing it to server.listen works but the inconsistency can cause subtle bugs (e.g., string concatenation, equality checks). Normalize at the source.

🔧 Proposed fix
-const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
+const port = parseInt(process.env.PORT, 10) || 3000;

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Missing .catch() on app.prepare() — startup errors are silently swallowed.

If app.prepare() rejects (build manifest missing, port binding issues during prepare, etc.), the promise rejection goes unhandled and the process may continue without a working server, or exit with an opaque UnhandledPromiseRejection. Add a .catch that logs and exits with a non-zero code so process supervisors (PM2, systemd, Docker) can restart cleanly.

🔧 Proposed fix
-app.prepare().then(() => {
+app.prepare().then(() => {
   // 1. Create the standard Node.js HTTP Server
   ...
-});
+}).catch((err) => {
+  console.error("Failed to start server:", err);
+  process.exit(1);
+});

🧩 Analysis chain

🌐 Web query:

Does Node.js http.Server.listen callback receive an error argument?

💡 Result:

No, the Node.js http.Server.listen callback does not receive an error argument. The callback is invoked only on successful binding and has the signature => void. It is added as a listener for the 'listening' event. Errors during listen (e.g., EADDRINUSE) are handled via the 'error' event on the server or synchronous exceptions for invalid arguments (e.g., invalid port). Official Node.js documentation for net.Server.listen (which http.Server inherits) shows the callback as optional with no parameters, confirmed across multiple versions including v25.x, v20.x, v18.x. Source code analysis shows the callback is attached via server.once('listening', cb), and libuv's uv_listen emits no error to it. Stack Overflow discussions confirm the callback is never passed an error; use server.on('error') instead.

Citations:


Add error handler for listen failures and remove unused error parameter.

The server.listen callback in Node.js does not receive an error argument — it is invoked only on successful binding as a one-time listener for the 'listening' event. The (err) parameter will always be undefined. Listen failures (e.g., EADDRINUSE) are emitted on the 'error' event, which currently has no handler and will crash the process.

🔧 Proposed fix
+  server.on("error", (err) => {
+    console.error("HTTP server error:", err);
+    process.exit(1);
+  });
+
-  server.listen(port, (err) => {
-    if (err) throw err;
-    console.log(
+  server.listen(port, () => {
+    console.log(
       `> Neura Engine Started` +
       `\n> Mode: ${dev ? "Development" : "Production"}` +
       `\n> Local: http://${hostname}:${port}`
     );
   });
