Unsure why dynamic route isn't working

I have a basic dynamic route search/[...slugs]/page.tsx. It doesn't seem to be picked up by nextjs at all. When I navigate to it, it shows the 404 page (with no redirect).

If I copy the very basic example shown here: https://github.com/vercel/next.js/blob/canary/test/e2e/app-dir/app/app/catch-all/%5B...slug%5D/page.js

it still doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas?

I'll note that I did try it in a fresh new app, and it worked as expected, but I'm completely unsure of where to start looking for what's going wrong in my own app
@Ray could you show the folder structure?

export default function Page({ params }: any) {
    return (
        <>
            <h1 id="text" data-params={params.slug.join('/') ?? ''}>
                hello from /catch-all/{params.slug.join('/')}
            </h1>
        </>
    );
}

oh only this route you have?
Giant ichneumon waspOP
i deleted the rest for testing lol
I only have a robots, layout, not-found, page, and middleware otherwise
Ray
does it work with just this route?
Giant ichneumon waspOP
none of which make any sense for why it's breaking (looking at them)
@Ray does it work with just this route?
Giant ichneumon waspOP
no, which means it's something due to those 5 files, but again, i just have zero clue where to look
middleware is verified to work properly via console logs (no redirects)
layout does zero black magic or redirecting (i'm using styled components so that setup is annoying, but otherwise...)
and robots ideally touches nothing (it wouldn't make sense)

like this?
Giant ichneumon waspOP
sanity checked, there's still a problem when I delete my custom layout and page and notfound
@Ray like this?
Giant ichneumon waspOP
yep
Ray
Giant ichneumon waspOP
yep that's why i'm confused
even this doesn't work
(that layout was force generated by next dev)
oh...
Ray
have you tried remove .next and restart the server?
Giant ichneumon waspOP
