I had this error in a React (Next.js) app:
Error: Objects are not valid as a React child (found: [object Promise]).
If you meant to render a collection of children, use an array instead.
After some time trying to figure out what the error meant, I figured out I was exporting my page component as async because I copied it from another Next.js project where this is possible because of the use of the app folder:
export default async function Page() {
}
But it was not possible in the pages folder.
Removing async made it work:
export default function Page() {
}
