Hello. I'm using the latest Next with the app directory. My middleware is sometimes changing the URL but not actually rendering the content.

Here is the relevant part of my middleware. Initially i thought it could be the next.config.js rewrites but i disabled them and i still have teh same issue

if (!isLoggedIn) {
      url.pathname = '/login';
      return NextResponse.redirect(url);
  }
export const config = {
    matcher: [
        '/((?!api|_next/static|_next/image|favicon.ico|images).*)',
    ]
}

Have you tried this?

return NextResponse.redirect(new URL('/login', request.url))

@European sprat no i thought that's unnecessary because i'm already cloning the url object but i'll do that and check
@European sprat yeah i just did, didn't solve it
