Route segment config "dynamicParams" is not compatible with `nextConfig.cacheComponents` (+ revalidate/dynamic)

next@16next@16.4#nextjs#cache-components#route-segment-config#isr#use-cache
Route segment config "dynamicParams" is not compatible with `nextConfig.cacheComponents`.
Fix
  • revalidate = 3600 → 'use cache' + cacheLife('hours') in the page or data function. For revalidate = 0, just delete it.
import { cacheLife } from 'next/cache'
export default async function Page() {
  'use cache'
  cacheLife('hours')
  return <div>...</div>
}
  • dynamic = 'force-dynamic' → delete it. Uncached data already runs at request time.
  • dynamic = 'force-static' → delete it, then add 'use cache' + cacheLife('max'). Request APIs now return real values.
  • fetchCache = 'force-cache' → wrap the cached data in 'use cache'. The *-no-store variants: leave the data outside any cache scope.
  • dynamicParams = false → delete it, and call notFound() in the page when the param does not resolve.
  • generateStaticParams must return at least one param.
  • To migrate gradually, run npx @next/codemod@canary cache-components-instant-false ./app (adds export const instant = false).

Symptom

With cacheComponents: true (the default for new create-next-app projects since 16.4), the build fails on routes that export the classic segment configs. export const dynamicParams = false gives Route segment config "dynamicParams" is not compatible with nextConfig.cacheComponents., and export const dynamic = ..., export const revalidate = 3600 and export const fetchCache = ... also error. Agents keep generating these exports because they were the standard ISR/dynamic knobs in Next.js 13–15.

Cause

Under Cache Components (top-level cacheComponents since Next.js 16.0, 2025-10-21) caching is opt-in per function or component with "use cache" + cacheLife. Route-wide segment configs are replaced: "After enabling the flag, route segments that still export dynamic, revalidate, or fetchCache will error." generateStaticParams returning [] also errors (empty-generate-static-params).

Verify

next build passes, and grep -rnE "export const (dynamic|revalidate|fetchCache|dynamicParams)" app is empty.
