either you need to rename _authenticated.tsx to authenticated.tsx (remove the leading underscore) or rename the folder authenticated to _authenticated (add a leading underscore) the second option would result in the path to just be /dashboard (without the authenticatedpart)

Thank you SOOOOOO MUCH! I've bee trying to figure out where I was going wrong for some time now. Can I ask what you personally would prefer? or no underscore or no underscore

other-emerald•17mo ago

this is not a matter of preference, but rather how the url should look like

absent-sapphireOP•17mo ago

Fair point. One thing I don't get thought. TS is complaining and only know about the routes / /login /about, but it doesn't recognize /authenticated Argument of type '"/authenticated"' is not assignable to parameter of type 'keyof FileRoutesByPath'.

other-emerald•17mo ago

how does your file/folder structure look like now? do you use the router vite plugin? is vite running?

other-emerald•17mo ago

i.e. did the generator run

absent-sapphireOP•17mo ago

yes and yes 🙂

other-emerald•17mo ago

would need a reproducer, e.g. by forking one of the existing example on stackblitz or this as a git repo

absent-sapphireOP•17mo ago

I think the easiest way would be to give you the repo 🙂 https://github.com/Notaduck/fitter-fullstack/tree/feature/frontend

other-emerald•17mo ago

private repo? cannot access

absent-sapphireOP•17mo ago

2 sec. It shoulde be public by now. And thank you so much for the help so far!

other-emerald•17mo ago

where should I be seeing this error?

absent-sapphireOP•17mo ago

I'm so sorry! I really don't know why there was a delay, I tried to restart the TS server in vs-code, restart the application but for some was there a delay with updating routeTree.gen.ts

other-emerald•17mo ago

so error has vanished?

absent-sapphireOP•17mo ago

Si, it just took a minute or two before routeTree.gen.ts was updated and typescript could see the routes -_"

other-emerald•17mo ago

shouldn't take that long, but well ...

absent-sapphireOP•17mo ago

Nope. and my laptop isn't THAT old, not new but not that old thoug.
