 import { db } from "..";
import { user } from "@/db/schema/user";
import { count, sql } from "drizzle-orm";
import { redirect } from "next/navigation";

export async function fetchUsersLength() {
  "use server";
  try {
    const [{ count: userLength }] = await db
      .select({ count: count() })
      .from(user);
    if (userLength > 0) {
      redirect("/sign-in");
    }
  } catch (err) {
    if (err instanceof Error) console.log(err.stack);
  }
}


this function should kick the user from register page (server component) , if there is users in the database but this error is appearing

it appears that
The redirect() is never supposed to be used in try/catch blocks.

i had to return the count and do redirect on my server component
