Portfolio Improvements Summary

Date: January 8, 2026
Status: ✅ All Issues Resolved

🎉 Issues Fixed

1. Safari originalFactory.call Error ✅

Problem: Runtime TypeError in Safari when visiting the site during development.

Error Message:

Runtime TypeError
undefined is not an object (evaluating 'originalFactory.call')

Root Cause:

  • React 19 + Next.js 15.5.9 + Webpack's module concatenation causing factory initialization issues
  • Safari's stricter module handling exposed the problem
  • Mixed CommonJS/ES6 module exports in next.config.ts

Solution:

  1. Fixed next.config.ts to use proper ES6 module syntax (export default instead of module.exports)
  2. Disabled webpack's concatenateModules in development mode for Safari compatibility
  3. Added proper webpack optimization settings
  4. Cleared .next build cache
  5. Updated Jest configuration for Next.js 15 compatibility

Files Modified:

  • ✅ next.config.ts - Fixed module exports and webpack config
  • ✅ jest.setup.ts - Updated for Next.js 15 + React 19
  • ✅ jest.config.ts - Modernized configuration

2. n8n Webhook Integration ✅

Problem: n8n status endpoint returning HTML error page instead of JSON.

Error Message:

Error fetching n8n status: SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<', "<!DOCTYPE "... is not valid JSON

Root Cause: Missing /webhook/ prefix in the API URL path.

Solution: Updated all n8n API routes to include the correct /webhook/ prefix:

- ${process.env.N8N_WEBHOOK_URL}/denshooter-71242/status
+ ${process.env.N8N_WEBHOOK_URL}/webhook/denshooter-71242/status

Files Modified:

  • ✅ app/api/n8n/status/route.ts - Fixed webhook URL
  • ✅ app/api/n8n/generate-image/route.ts - Fixed webhook URL
  • ✅ app/api/n8n/chat/route.ts - Already correct
  • ✅ env.example - Added n8n configuration

Test Results:

{
  "status": {"text": "idle", "color": "yellow"},
  "music": null,
  "gaming": null,
  "coding": null,
  "timestamp": "2026-01-08T00:57:20.932Z"
}

    • Reduces server load

  3. Request Analysis:
