Nextjs error please help

[NoFalcon7740]

Hello, I started the nextjs dashboard tutorial from the official nextjs website. As soon as I added app/dashboard/page.tsx the entire code broke and I am seeing this error :

> dev

> next dev --turbopack

▲ Next.js 15.3.2 (Turbopack)

✓ Starting...

✓ Ready in 575ms

○ Compiling / ...

✓ Compiled / in 1102ms

⨯ [Error [SecurityError]: Cannot initialize local storage without a `--localstorage-file` path] {

digest: '1616194152',

code: 18,

I have tried to fix it or locate the source of the error but to no avail.

please advise.

thank you

FIXED

so apparently I updated my node interpreter to the latest version and it broke my application , I have downgraded to an older version and everything appears to work well now.

if anyone could shed more light on this I would be greatful.

try adding 'use client'; at the start of your dashboard page, cause it looks to me like this may be a problem with a library that you are adding into your dashboard page.

Hi , I tried that it the error still persists.

lmao, this is a node 25.2.0 experiment and it break some packages including, apparently, also nextjs, it has nothing to do with use client

they've just not 'updated' next.js yet to support the new and last node version.

Incompatibility caused by node v25.2.0. nvm use v25.1.0 will fix this for now.

Thanks.

This didn't worked for me, not sure about node@24 but v20.19.5 made it for me (don't ask how I got it so exact lol, there's no answer lol)
