context.path gets overwritten by route.path while resolving about universal-router

[webican]

in the root route I want to do something like this:

export default {

  path: '/',

  children: [
    require('./protected1').default,
    require('./protected2').default,
    require('./login').default,
  ],

  async action({ path, query, next }) {
    const route = await next();

    if (path !== '/login' && !isAuthenticated()) {
      route.redirect = '/login';
    }

    return route;
  }
}

And I'm resolving it with:

const route = await UniversalRouter.resolve(routes, {
  path: req.path
});

if (route.redirect) {
  res.redirect(route.status || 302, route.redirect);
  return;
}

When navigating to http://mywebsite/login I was expecting path to be '/login' in the root route action, but it's always '/'.

As a workaround I'm passing additional _path property to the context and using that instead:

const route = await UniversalRouter.resolve(routes, {
  path: req.path,
  _path: req.path
});

Since v3.0.0 you can use context.url instead of _path. More info about context see in docs.
