Returning 401 causes a mystery redirect

[nshCore]

In my app if the users credentials don't authenticate it returns a 401 http status code. Which causes vue-auth.js to do some mystery redirect back '/' rather than displaying the error. If a users credentials arent found a 404 is returned which prints the error returned. for the time being i am returning a 403 forbidden http status. Can you tell me how i disable this redirect for 401 responses

You can just overwrite the invalid token method.

_invalidToken: function (res) {
if (res.status === 401) {
this.logout();
}
},

Right now it just does a force logout (to account for states where 401
while logged in, etc). The logout just cleans up all the tokens, etc, so
that it doesn't try to use a stale token later on.

In this case the redirect is coming from the logout data.

logoutData: {url: 'auth/logout', method: 'POST', redirect:
'/', makeRequest: false},

So there are a few ways to deal with it. You can just set some default in
the logoutData.redirect. This is just a generic default. You can still call
$auth.logout({redirect: 'here'}) later on to override that. Or if you wanna
get fancy just override call logout({redirect: null}) in the _invalidtoken
mehtod and do your own thing after that.
