When i try to export dynamic in a route handler

export const dynamic = "force-dynamic";
export const GET = async (


i get this error

   Collecting page data  ..Error: A "use server" file can only export async functions.

then the issue is in a different file. check for all files with "use server" and ensure that all of those files export exclusively async functions. synchronous functions, variables, classes are all not allowed, only async functions are allowed

Oh i found it, is it possible to react cache an async function and return it as async?

export const validateLogin = cache(async () => {
joulev
no... React.cache does basically nothing in a server action, why do you want to use it in an action?

Oh no true i never use that as a server action i'll just remove the use server. Mixed up server only and use server my bad.
