Refreshing a route while logged in redirects to index.html about gatsby-auth-starter-aws-amplify

[devnantes44]

I've got a similar problem although with a slight difference:

1. Log in
2. go to /app/home
3. Reload the page
4. App redirects user to / route then redirec to /app/home

I followed this documentation: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amplify/latest/userguide/redirects.html#redirects-for-single-page-web-apps-spa

Were you able to handle this issue @CaptainChemist ?

[CaptainChemist]

@devnantes44 No, I wasn't able to solve it unfortunately.

@devnantes44 @CaptainChemist have you both had a chance to go through the above link and if so, is the issue still happening?

@mtliendo I just tried having the following be my only redirect and I can confirm that this did not fix my problem and in fact made it worse. So that documentation provided did not work in my case unfortunately.

source address: </^[^.]+$|.(?!(css|gif|ico|jpg|js|png|txt|svg|woff|ttf|map|json)$)([^.]+$)/>
target address: /index.html
type: 200

Previously, I could directly navigate to pages that was not a protected route and I would not be navigated to the home page, it was only protected pages that would get navigated back to the home page regardless of whether the person was logged in or not. I think for me personally, even though the expected behavior should be that I can see pages that I should be able to see even if I refresh the page without a redirect to the home page, as long as my public pages act like they should, I can work around that.

source address: /<*>
target address: /index.html
type: 404 (Redirect)
