/home/circleci/project/node_modules/@sentry/nextjs/cjs/utils/instrumentServer.js:77
      const serverPrototype = Object.getPrototypeOf(liveServer);
                                     ^

Expected Result

No errors so Cypress doesn’t exit

I opened a PR #6072 that should address this (not yet sure if we’re gonna merge it). I opted not to await serverPromise because that field might potentially not be defined (at least typing wise) when getServerRequestHandler is called:

https://github.com/vercel/next.js/blob/0beed3563cdab846fd6b683f1ed5586de3e7d96d/packages/next/server/next.ts#L42

Instead we’re simply awaiting getServer which seems safe-ish.

Ah thank you so much for debugging this. I think you might be correct in your assumptions and we need to somehow await the server.

I am still wondering why I can’t reproduce this - maybe it’s a race condition.

As for your questions:

How I can disable fully the @sentry/nextjs library to prevent this error to appear and don’t block my feature? Should I delete the sentry.client.config.ts and sentry.server.config.ts files too?

I would suggest literally ripping out everything related to Sentry but I don’t think this is necessary anymore since you probably identified the issue.

By other side, do you know if there’re any changes on Nextjs 13 that changed the property from this.server to this.httpServer?

Looking at Next.js’ code it doesn’t seem like they changed it to this.httpServer.
