Issues with Vue Router
I recently built my Nuxt application and dockerized it, only to see that for some unknown mystical reason when i am in my login page it auths me without any problems ( this is because its in a compose with the backend) the fact is that it gives me an error:
foxactivity | [Vue Router warn]: No match found for location with path "/auth/login"
Honestly, i don't know from where the path "/auth/login" its coming from, it really does not exist in the whole project,or at least, it has existed before,
To isolate this issue i decided to build it on my local machine, thinking it was a problem with our internal docker registry not updating the frontend image, only to find out this problem persists on my machine too. Its says
No match found for location with path "/auth/login"
i literally searched in the whole project for the string "/auth/login" only to find it in my api calls. (where the endpoint is actually http://foxhelper/api/v1/auth/login so i don't think thats an issue)
If anyone has an idea of whatever this issue could be that would be really appreciated, Thanks!

Hi @NiceCraftz. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
The warning
[Vue Router warn]: No match found for location with path "/auth/login" means that Vue Router is trying to navigate to a route (/auth/login) that does not exist in your Nuxt application's pages directory. This typically happens when:
- There is a redirect or navigation in your code (or a module) pointing to /auth/login, but no corresponding page exists.
- A module or middleware is enforcing authentication and redirecting unauthenticated users to /auth/login by default.
Based on the knowledge sources, a common cause for this behavior is the use of authentication modules (such as Supabase or similar), which may automatically redirect unauthenticated users to a login page. For example, the Supabase Nuxt module, by default, redirects to /login if a user is not authenticated, even if you haven't explicitly set up such a route. This can be disabled in the module's configuration by setting the redirect option to false or by configuring the login route to match your actual setup. If you have a similar module, check its configuration for default redirect behavior and adjust accordingly Nuxt.js localhost redirects to /login automatically, resulting in 404 error.
If you have previously had a /auth/login page and removed it, but some code or module is still referencing it, you will continue to see this warning until all references are removed or the route is restored.
What you should do:
- Double-check your Nuxt modules (especially authentication-related ones) for any default redirect settings.
- Search your middleware and configuration files for any redirects or navigation to /auth/login.
- If you do not want this route, ensure no code or module is trying to navigate to it.
- If you do want a login page, create a pages/auth/login.vue file.
If after checking all of the above you still cannot find the source, it is likely coming from a module's default behavior, as described above. The knowledge sources do not mention any other causes for this specific warning in Nuxt Nuxt.js localhost redirects to /login automatically, resulting in 404 error.

@kapa.ai
This is my global authentication middlware, but in no way i am referencing the path /auth/login, just /login
export default defineNuxtRouteMiddleware((to, from) => {
const authStore = useAuthStore();
authStore.restoreSession();
if (to.path === "/login") return;
if (!authStore.isAuthenticated) {
return navigateTo("/login");
}
});
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Based on your provided middleware, you are only referencing
/login and not /auth/login. If you are seeing navigation attempts to /auth/login, it is likely coming from somewhere else in your application or from a Nuxt module (such as an authentication or i18n module) that may have a default redirect path set to /auth/login.
From the knowledge sources, this kind of issue often arises when:
- A module or plugin (for example, an authentication module) is configured to redirect to /auth/login by default, even if you do not explicitly reference it in your code. This can happen if you previously had such a route or if a module's default configuration expects it to exist Nuxt.js localhost redirects to /login automatically, resulting in 404 error.
- There is a mismatch between your intended login route (/login) and what a module expects (/auth/login).
What you can do:
- Double-check your nuxt.config and any authentication-related modules for a redirect or login path setting.
- Search your codebase (including plugins, modules, and middleware) for /auth/login to ensure there are no lingering references.
- If you are using a third-party module, consult its documentation to see if it defaults to /auth/login and how to change it.
The knowledge sources do not provide any other explanation for this behavior if your middleware only references /login. If you are certain there are no other references in your code, the most likely cause is a module or plugin with a default redirect setting.
If you need to debug further, try adding a temporary catch-all middleware to log all navigation attempts and see what triggers the /auth/login navigation.
If you provide more details about the modules you are using, I may be able to help you pinpoint the source more precisely.

I have no authentication related modules.
@kapa.ai I have no authentication related modules.

----------------------
Thank you for clarifying that you have no authentication-related modules. Based on the knowledge sources, if your global authentication middleware only references
/login and you are not using any modules that could introduce a redirect to /auth/login, then the source of the navigation to /auth/login is not explained by your middleware code.
The knowledge sources indicate that unexpected redirects to login pages are often caused by modules (such as Supabase or other authentication solutions) that automatically redirect unauthenticated users to a default login route, sometimes /login or /auth/login Nuxt.js localhost redirects to /login automatically, resulting in 404 error. However, since you have confirmed you are not using such modules, and your middleware only references /login, there is no information in the knowledge sources that explains why your application would attempt to navigate to /auth/login.
I'm sorry, but the knowledge sources do not contain enough information to determine the cause of the navigation to /auth/login in your case. If you are certain there are no references to /auth/login in your codebase or configuration, and no modules are present that could introduce this behavior, the issue remains unexplained based on the provided documentation and examples.

I Guess i am waiting for someone
I came to a conclusion, it indeed was the process.env.API_BASE_URL not being fetched from the ENVs (and it still isn't being fetched for some reason unknown to mankind) i have also added NUXT(underscore) prefix which apparently makes the value able to be defined at runtime but guess what? it sitll doesn't work.
