Next.js Attempting to Pre-Render route.ts Files

[thecodedrift]

Your route.js / route.ts likely needs to force dynamic rendering.

export const dynamic = "force-dynamic";

Otherwise during the build process. Next will try and pre-render that page. That means it calls APIs, needs process.env, etc. It will do this even though route.* would lead you to believe it's a server side route.
