Hi @meager wharf. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Based on the provided code and the information from the extracts, it's not entirely clear why the submit button isn't working as expected. However, there are a few things you could check:

  1. Form Validation: You're using a form validation library (possibly zod (https://zod.dev/), as mentioned in the Next.js documentation (https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/forms-and-mutations)) with the useForm hook from react-hook-form. If the form data doesn't pass the validation, the newComment function won't be called. Make sure the form data is valid according to your commentSchema.

  2. Async Function Handling: The newComment function is asynchronous, which means it returns a Promise. If there's an error in this function that isn't caught, it could cause the function to fail silently. Consider adding a try/catch block inside the newComment function to catch and handle any errors.

  3. Form Submission: In your form, you're using handleSubmit(newComment) from react-hook-form to handle form submission. Make sure that this is working correctly, and that the form is actually being submitted when you click the button.

  4. Server Actions: If you're using Next.js 13.4 or later, you might be using Server Actions (https://nextjs.org/blog/next-13-4) to handle form submissions. If this is the case, make sure your server action is correctly defined and is being called as expected.

If none of these suggestions help, you might need to debug your code to find out what's going wrong. Add console.log statements in your newComment function and in the form's onSubmit handler to see if they're being called as expected.
