custom-route can't be found.

• Python Version: 3.9
• Pynecone Version: latest
• OS: windows 10
• Browser (Optional): edge

About page and Index page is ok, but when I try to custom-route give me this message: Invariant: attempted to hard navigate to the same URL /custom-route http://localhost:3000/custom-route

---

This is my main code:

def about():
return pc.text("About page")

def custom():
return pc.text("custom")

app = pc.App(state=State)
app.add_page(index)
app.add_page(about)
app.add_page(custom, path="/custom-route")
app.compile()

---

I don't kown why, this is just a example in docs.

Ok that's odd I just tried an example using that path and it seemed to work for me. Anyone else getting this issue?

Can you post your whole python file, thanks.

I tried this and it worked fine for me.

app = pc.App(state=State)
app.add_page(index)
app.add_page(about)
app.add_page(custom, path="/custom-route")
app.compile()

Your file worked for me as-well, that's odd. Maybe a windows error I'm on Mac if any other users get this error I'll take a deeper look

[Lendemor]

Just an idea but maybe Windows doesn't like that the file created start with a /

Try

app.add_page(custom, path="custom-route")

Instead

[Alek99]

Thanks, good suggestion @Lendemor this seems to work as seen on discord. We will fix this so the "/" way works aswell in the next release

Okay, I'll wait the time the problem is resolved.

I've the same issue in Windows, because the script tries to write to the home path C:\ where admin privileges are required, as a temporary workaround run the script as admin.

I have tried running as administrator but it didn't work for me.

[Alek99]

Ok got it thanks for pointing this out we are on Mac so these bugs can be hard to find. We can look into a fix, if any of you know an easy fix on windows lmk

[HellAmbro]

I don't want to be wrong but I think it is due to how the file system handles paths, on Linux & Mac it should work, while on Windows it doesn't.
Maybe some form of escaping is needed.
I will try to take a look at it as soon as possible and try to solve it.

Figured it out:
When using Pynecone on Windows, it's using NPM and JavaScript so you have to specify the path as "./custom-route" rather than the python version: "/custom-route"
