Routes.push() not working as expected at NextJS

Question

I am trying to redirect the user to the homepage when he tries to access the dashboard of the app without being authenticated, but the Route.push() is not working.

I tried to change Router.push('/') to Router.push('/hey') -> a page that does not exists, and this worked, the route changed. Also when I try to access a path like this Router.push('/auth/signin'), it doesn't work while Router.push('/auth') works

import { isAuthenticated } from "../helpers/auth";
import { Component } from "react";
import { Router } from "../routes";

class Ads extends Component {
  // static async getInitialProps(ctx) {
  //   if (ctx && ctx.req) {
  //     console.log(ctx);
  //     //ctx.res.writeHead(302, { Location: `/` });
  //     ctx.res.end();
  //   } else {
  //     console.log("client side");
  //     console.log(localStorage.getItem("auth-token"));
  //   }
  // }

  handleAuthentication = () => {
    if (localStorage.getItem("auth-token")) {
      return true;
    }
  };

  componentDidMount() {
    if (this.handleAuthentication()) {
      console.log("hey");
    } else {
      Router.pushRoute("/auth/signup");
    }
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <p> Dashboard </p>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

export default Ads;

It seems you were using next-router dependecy?

Try to use next/router (default dependency from nextjs), it works fine in my code:

import Router from "next/router";

{ other code... }

Router.push("/auth/signup");
