nginx + vueJS + static landing page

Question

I need to open the landing page on /, and vueJS application on /app. Here is my current nginx setup:

server {
    listen 80;

    location /app {
            alias /var/www/app/dist/;
            try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
    }

    location / {
            alias /var/www/landing/dist/;
            try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
    }
}

It opens landing on /, and vueJS app when I go to /app, however, if I open /app/login it goes to landing page instead of vue application. What am I doing wrong ?

And which file should be opened in this case? [..]/app/dist/index.html? — raina77ow

Yes, everything starting with /app should open /app/dist/index.html — Valera

Thank you @RichardSmith, I removed the trailing / + added try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html last;, the last to /app and it worked. — Valera

I have no idea why, but adding last to vue application configuration fixed it. Here is how the config looks now:

server {
    listen 80;

    location /app {
        alias /var/www/app/dist; # removed the / at the end
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html last; # here is the trick
    }

    location / {
        alias /var/www/landing/dist/;
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
    }
}

From nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_rewrite_module.html - last stops processing the current set of ngx_http_rewrite_module directives and starts a search for a new location matching the changed URI.
