The error occurs when too many forks are generated while processing the request. This usually happens when matching too many conditional routes, which could lead to a loop or excessive resource usage.
You cannot have more than 5 routes matched on a single path.
TOO_MANY_FORKS:
Bad Gateway
I'm encountering an error and reviewing the docs at /flg~eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9._v7-_v79_g.IN_1YP9lSd3iAlrWfWlSjd7w2BXkRLu_kcJ1imlrEiA/docs/errors/TOO_MANY_FORKS to understand what's happening.
Please help me resolve this by:
1. **Suggest the fix**: Analyze my codebase context and propose what needs to be changed to resolve this error
2. **Explain the root cause**: Break down why this error occurred:
- What was the code actually doing vs. what it needed to do?
- What conditions triggered this specific error?
- What misconception or oversight led to this?
3. **Teach the concept**: Help me understand the underlying principle:
- Why does this error exist and what is it protecting me from?
- What's the correct mental model for this concept?
- How does this fit into the broader framework/language design?
4. **Show warning signs**: Help me recognize this pattern in the future:
- What should I look out for that might cause this again?
- Are there similar mistakes I might make in related scenarios?
- What code smells or patterns indicate this issue?
5. **Discuss alternatives**: Explain if there are different valid approaches and their trade-offs
My goal is to fix the immediate issue while building lasting understanding so I can avoid and resolve similar errors independently in the future.
To troubleshoot this error, follow these steps:
- Review routing configuration: Reduce the number of rewrites, redirects, or headers with a key (conditional route) that match the erroring request path
- Check for recursive logic: Ensure there isn't any recursive logic in the routing configuration that could lead to excessive forking
- Handle unhandled exceptions: Check the application logs for any unhandled exceptions that may be causing the error
