NavigationDuplicated Navigating to current location (“/search”) is not allowed

This happened to me when I had a router-link pointing to the same route. e.g. /products/1.

The user is able to click on the products, but if a product was already clicked (and the component view was already loaded) and the user attempts to click it again, the error/warning shows in the console.

You can learn more on the github issue..

Posva, one of the main contributors of vue-router suggests:

router.push(‘your-path’).catch(err => {})

However, if you don’t want to have a catch block which does nothing, in order to solve the issue you can compare the router navigation with the current route and only navigate if they differ:

const path = `/products/${id}`
if (this.$route.path !== path) this.$router.push(path)

Note: $route is an object provided by vue-router to every component. See The Route Object for more info.
