fix(e2e): pin Next.js version in cache-components template by jacekradko · Pull Request #8121 · clerk/javascript

jacekradko · 2026-03-19T14:34:51Z

Summary

Pin Next.js in the cache-components integration test template from ^16.0.0-canary.0 to 16.1.6

The cache-components test suite has been deterministically failing since March 18, not flaky. Root cause:

The template had "next": "^16.0.0-canary.0" with no lockfile, so every CI run resolved the latest compatible version
Next.js 16.2.0 was published on 2026-03-18 at 17:17 UTC
Every CI run after that picked up 16.2.0, which breaks window.Clerk?.session initialization after sign-in
The last passing run (March 14) used Next.js 16.1.6
All "passing" runs between March 14–18 were Turbo cache hits that never actually executed tests

This pins to 16.1.6 to unblock CI. The 16.2.0 incompatibility should be investigated separately.

Test plan

Integration Tests (cache-components, chrome, 16) passes in CI

Summary by CodeRabbit

Chores
- Updated Next.js to a stable release version for improved stability and reliability.

Next.js 16.2.0 (released 2026-03-18) breaks Clerk session initialization in the cache-components test app, causing waitForSession to timeout. Pin to 16.1.6 (last known working version) to unblock CI.

Walkthrough

A changeset entry was created to document changes to the Next.js cache components template. The next dependency in integration/templates/next-cache-components/package.json was updated from a canary version (^16.0.0-canary.0) to a stable pinned release version (16.1.6). This change transitions the template's Next.js dependency from using a flexible canary range to a fixed, released version.
