Description

Part 2 of the keyless→CLI stack (#9491 → #9492 → #9493 → #9487 → #9488), stacked on #9491. Written against main's middleware (keyless mode untouched — that lands in #9493):

  • clerkMiddleware() with missing keys throws missingEnvVars (code=missing_env_keys): npx clerk@latest init first, with npx clerk@latest deploy / npx clerk@latest env pull --instance prod guidance for production. The same message is thrown in every environment — the reader knows whether they are developing or deploying better than NODE_ENV does (e.g. next build && next start locally reports production).
  • clerkMiddleware() validates the publishable key format upfront, throwing invalidEnvKeys (code=invalid_env_keys). Previously fabricated or mistyped keys surfaced later as a bare Publishable key not valid. — sandbox agent trials showed invented placeholder keys are the most common agent failure mode.
  • Three existing dynamic-key test fixtures used placeholder-format keys and now use validly-formatted ones.

Checklist

  • pnpm test runs as expected.
  • pnpm build runs as expected.

Collapsed into the rest of the stack: the invalid-key fix moved to the actual throw site — the fatal messages in parsePublishableKey (#9491, fixes every server SDK at once) — and the missing-key paths keep using the shared errorThrower messages, which now carry the CLI guidance. No nextjs-specific error constants needed. Stack is now #9491 → #9493 → #9487 → #9488.

Description
Part 2 of the keyless→CLI stack (#9491 → #9492 → #9493 → #9487 → #9488), stacked on #9491. Written against main's middleware (keyless mode untouched — that lands in #9493):
  • clerkMiddleware() with missing keys throws missingEnvVars (code=missing_env_keys): npx clerk@latest init first, with npx clerk@latest deploy / npx clerk@latest env pull --instance prod guidance for production. The same message is thrown in every environment — the reader knows whether they are developing or deploying better than NODE_ENV does (e.g. next build && next start locally reports production).
  • clerkMiddleware() validates the publishable key format upfront, throwing invalidEnvKeys (code=invalid_env_keys). Previously fabricated or mistyped keys surfaced later as a bare Publishable key not valid. — sandbox agent trials showed invented placeholder keys are the most common agent failure mode.
  • Three existing dynamic-key test fixtures used placeholder-format keys and now use validly-formatted ones.

Collapsed into the rest of the stack: the invalid-key fix moved to the actual throw site — the fatal messages in parsePublishableKey (#9491, fixes every server SDK at once) — and the missing-key paths keep using the shared errorThrower messages, which now carry the CLI guidance. No nextjs-specific error constants needed. Stack is now #9491 → #9493 → #9487 → #9488.

Description
Part 2 of the keyless→CLI stack (#9491 → #9492 → #9493 → #9487 → #9488), stacked on #9491. Written against main's middleware (keyless mode untouched — that lands in #9493):
  • clerkMiddleware() with missing keys throws missingEnvVars (code=missing_env_keys): npx clerk@latest init first, with npx clerk@latest deploy / npx clerk@latest env pull --instance prod guidance for production. The same message is thrown in every environment — the reader knows whether they are developing or deploying better than NODE_ENV does (e.g. next build && next start locally reports production).
  • clerkMiddleware() validates the publishable key format upfront, throwing invalidEnvKeys (code=invalid_env_keys). Previously fabricated or mistyped keys surfaced later as a bare Publishable key not valid. — sandbox agent trials showed invented placeholder keys are the most common agent failure mode.
  • Three existing dynamic-key test fixtures used placeholder-format keys and now use validly-formatted ones.
Checklist
  • pnpm test runs as expected.
  • pnpm build runs as expected.
