next(false) clears path on global Navigation Guards #3807
Description
@posva, sorry my bad in the example, but I found the reason behind my "path flashes", it's ensureURL method in the HTML5History class.
// next(false) -> abort navigation, ensure current URL
this.ensureURL(true)
If we take a look at this method
ensureURL (push?: boolean) {
if (getLocation(this.base) !== this.current.fullPath) {
const current = cleanPath(this.base + this.current.fullPath)
push ? pushState(current) : replaceState(current)
}
}
if I try to go straight to the restricted path, at some point, in my app I have next(false), that causes half-second absolutely clear URL.
When I logged vars in this method I noticed that it pushes to to url WITH aborting navigation.
When I commented that ensureURL(true) app worked as expected without annoying flashes.
Could you plz explain why do we need it?
