Angular 15: Issue with Router Guards not Executing on Nested Route Navigation
I've spent hours debugging this and I'm relatively new to this, so bear with me. I'm prototyping a solution and I've been struggling with this for a few days now and could really use some help. I'm working on a project and hit a roadblock. I am experiencing an issue where my Angular Router Guards are not executing when navigating to a nested route. I have set up the guards to protect certain routes based on user authentication, but they only seem to work for the primary routes. For example, when I navigate from `/dashboard` to `/dashboard/settings`, the guard does not trigger, and I am redirected without the expected authentication check. Here is a snippet of my routing module: ```typescript const routes: Routes = [ { path: 'dashboard', component: DashboardComponent, canActivate: [AuthGuard], children: [ { path: 'settings', component: SettingsComponent, canActivate: [AuthGuard] }, { path: 'profile', component: ProfileComponent, canActivate: [AuthGuard] } ] }, { path: 'login', component: LoginComponent } ]; ``` In my `AuthGuard`, I have the following implementation: ```typescript @Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' }) export class AuthGuard implements CanActivate { constructor(private authService: AuthService, private router: Router) {} canActivate(route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot, state: RouterStateSnapshot): boolean { const isAuthenticated = this.authService.isLoggedIn(); if (!isAuthenticated) { this.router.navigate(['/login']); return false; } return true; } } ``` I have confirmed that `isLoggedIn()` returns the correct value during the guard check. However, when navigating to `/dashboard/settings`, the `canActivate` method does not seem to execute at all. I tried adding logging statements in the `canActivate` method, but they do not appear in the console when I navigate to the nested route. I've also ensured that there are no other conflicting routes defined that might interfere. It seems like the guard is only working for the top-level route. I have checked the Angular Router documentation, but I couldn't find any mention of special considerations for nested routes and guards. What could be causing this behavior, and how can I ensure that my guard executes for all routes, including nested ones? For context: I'm using Typescript on Linux. What's the best practice here? I'm on CentOS using the latest version of Typescript. I've been using Typescript for about a year now. Any suggestions would be helpful. Has anyone else encountered this? Any suggestions would be helpful.
