ember-simple-auth: Error: Assertion Failed: The route index was not found

Question

I am building an app with the use of ember-simple-auth.

So it looks very much like the library its doing is thing.

Here is what happens:

user tries to access /dashboard but is redirected to /
the route / contains the login form
the user logs in with valid credentials
Server responds: /token 200 0.252 ms - 52
But an error message is shown: Error: Assertion Failed: The route index was not found
user navigates to /dashboard and can now see the content, navigate around protected areas, and successfully log out.

My question is, how do I define /dashboard as the route instead of index? So that after successful login you are redirected to /dashboard

You can configure Ember Simple Auth's routeAfterAuthentication in the config, e.g.

ENV['ember-simple-auth'] = {
  routeAfterAuthentication: 'dashboard'
}

Hi marcoow, I just found that out as well. After changing the routeAfterAuthentication I stumbled upon some really weird bahaviour. I am making a new question and accepting your answer. – odinp123 Nov 13 '16 at 15:29

On Ember Simple Auth Part, you can add routeAfterAuthentication and call it a day, because of ESA default to index.

If we dig deeper, as far as why ESA was and still defaults to the Index route, is that Ember always generates 2 routes for you:

You get these 2 routes for free.

I found 3.20 version doc's wording is verbose, so I'm pasting from 1.10 doc, but the idea remains the same

On that perspective, ESA uses IndexRoute as default is a safe bet.
