I'm using Firebase, FirebaseUI, Vue, vue router, and vuex.
- I have a home view ('/') that shows a "Log In" button. At this point, the vuex state has a user variable set to null. When I click on it, it takes me to my login view ('/login'). Suspicious thing: Looking at Vue DevTools, home remains the active view.
- I use FirebaseUI to handle my logging in stuff. Once successfully logged in, my site redirects to a console view ('/console') which has a "Log Out" button, and the user variable in vuex is set to an object. Suspicious thing: Looking at Vue DevTools, login is now the active view.
- Clicking the "Log Out" button still keeps me in the '/console/ vue. Vuex has a user variable set to null.
- Refreshing the page automatically redirects me to the '/login' view.
I'm wondering if the fact that the active view isn't correct is the root of this issue. I found other people with the same problem saying they weren't using the webpack correctly by importing their App.vue file as a js, but I'm importing it as a .vue file in my main.js file.
I'm also suspicious of the FirebaseUI uiConfig in my Login.vue file. I have to set signInSuccessUrl: '#/console',
(note the #). If I don't have the #, it redirects me to home (url = http://localhost:8081/console#/).

In the HeaderBar.vue (which has the logout button):

firebase.auth().signOut().then(function() {
// Sign-out successful.
this.$store.dispatch('logoutUser');
this.$route.push('/');
}).catch(function(error) {
//this.$emit("signout error", error);
error;
// An error happened.
});
}
