and make you await logOutAction(), since it's an async function

i just realized u need to put redirect outside of your try catch
try {
    // ...
  } catch (error) {
    // ...
  }
 
  redirect(`/login`)
PolishOP
 try {
    deleteSession();
  } catch (error) {
    console.log('failed to delete session');
  }
  redirect('/login');

still doesnot work ,same error
PolishOP
yes
gin
thats strange
u might need to handle the redirect on the clientside
PolishOP
can you provide some hint for how to achieve that

return 200 and redirect based on that

Hey.
1) Ensure that if the deleteSession is async, add await.
2) return redirect instead of just calling it

Oops i forgot to add await for async call it works now
import { deleteSession } from "../lib/session";
import { redirect } from "next/navigation";

export async function logOutAction() {
  try {
    deleteSession();
  } catch (error) {
    console.log("Failed to delete session");
  }
  return redirect('/login')
}


    <>
      <form action={async () => {
        "use server"
        await logOutAction()
      }}>
        <Button type="submit"  >Logout</Button>
      </form>
    </>


Thanks @Havana @gin
