1. i'am trying to add something like

var router = new VueRouter({
          base: window.location.pathname
          ...

2. trying add a base tag

<base href="/">

however it's doesnt help and the page always redirects to the base domain
I found a few issues like that ("doesnt respect the " and so on), but there is no certain solutions or steps to solve the problem.

(sorry, but i don't have a permission to share my project link before release)

There was #1426. The PR fixing it was reverted because it was breaking other stuff but it should be working. We will need a minimal repro. It can be a simple HTML page with some script tags. I don't know Google cache so I'll appreciate you add anything necessary for that to work too 🙂

Think I’m in the same boat, as my site also gets redirected. Not sure how we can repro since we’re dealing with Google’s cache, but here’s a link to the Google Search Result, a link to the Google Cached Site, and to the site itself.

I’ve since added a base tag after reading other issues, too, but since we’re dealing with Google’s cached copy, I’m guessing that won’t take effect for a while, even if it is a fix.

Encountering the same issue. @jasonhibbs judging by those links, it looks like the base tag fix isn't a fix huh? The delay on seeing whether something works makes troubleshooting this pretty painful.

@jasonhibbs - were you able to get to the bottom of this? I see your example's home page is cached nicely now.

Info: Issue is still present.

It seems that the base URL is changed after accessing the cached content (Example: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:LuVRWZm_yMAJ:https://pass.wurd.it/ -> https://pass.wurd.it/search?q=cache%3ALuVRWZm_yMAJ%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fpass.wurd.it%2F)

I've encountered a similar issue with my company, and I think I've worked out the cause. Here's a minimal reproduction: https://github.com/dansebcar/vue-router-2042

TL;DR: looks like setting scrollBehaviour() in the VueRouter constructor can trigger an unexpected pushState when the page has a tag to another origin, thereby redirecting to that origin.

For @wallbanger 's original case, I think adding the tag didn't help because google injected one above which took priority, and theirs was ignored.

This problem still happens on the newest version of nuxt
