Hi @Norwegian Buhund

How did you use that function?

i tried relative and absolute URLs

Please show me your use example.

you need to explain further details to get good result.

In which file did you use, and what is error report?

kind of hard since this is a sensitive application

let's say i have:
- app/login/page.tsx - returns LoginClientWrapper, which has a useEffect that fetches '/api/login/qr' in a useEffect on mount
- app/api/login/qr/route.tsx - fetches google OAuth, then fetches a separate backend (/auth/google-signin), stores some cookies then returns NextResponse.json
- i need app/api/login/qr/route.tsx to redirect successful /auth/google-signin. I can confirm that all that data is getting received by the server. but i just can't get the client to redirect to any URL

redirect() inside try cath won't work @Norwegian Buhund

I'm not using try catch. Does it not work in async functions as well?

yeah, it works in async

then not sure what the problem is

oh, I see

i'm seeing a server log for POST /api/login/qr 307 in 577ms but it's not navigating the client

so you make a fetch to /api/login/qr in useEffect() right?

and then inside that api, you did redirect() right?

yes

it doesn't do anything - because

don't think so

redirect is in api/login/qr/route.tsx

yeah, it's the api you are making a fetch request to, right?

yes

yeah, nothing happens then

oh im dumb

but as you were making a fetch request, that redirection is not reflected in your client end

you need to use router.push() inside your useEffect()

after the fetch

I agree.

router from next/router?

yeah.

ok it works

thank you both

great to help you!

mark solution to close the thread! 🙂
