Getting "page over page" problem in laravel 11+ using inertia react for frontend

Question

I have been struggling with this error for 2 weeks. Project setup is basically simple:

docker-compose for building app, redis and mariadb containers
nginx on production server for serving app and build assets from react

After a while, especially while submitting login or any POST request handling from react jsx template (using inertia router.post method), it opens up a new window inside current one with redirect.

Here is my login controller method

public function login(Request $request)
{
    $credentials = $request->validate([
        'email' => 'required|email',
        'password' => 'required',
    ]);

    if (Auth::guard('client')->attempt($credentials, $request->boolean('remember'))) {
        $client = Auth::guard('client')->user();

        if ($client->status) {
            $request->session()->regenerate();

            return Inertia::location(route('client.admin'));
        }

        Auth::guard('client')->logout();

        throw ValidationException::withMessages([
            'email' => 'Your account is inactive.',
        ]);
    }

    throw ValidationException::withMessages([
        'email' => 'The provided credentials do not match our records.',
    ]);
}

Attaching screenshots:

I would appreciate any help in resolving this. Thanks.

As document suggest Inertia::location is for redirect to an external location. Mean it will open a new window.

This method is mostly useful when any one want to redirect to external website.

For your case, use redirect()->route('client.admin') laravel build in redirect method.

I replaced all Inertia::location logic with redirects but after a while still getting same problem. Also sometimes api endpoints return plain html with object instead of json.

What do you mean by "but after a while still getting same problem". Did it work for some amount of time or it never worked???? Did you try to clear browser and laravel cache???? And api endpoints is different issue not related to this.

It worked. After few hours when i logged out and wanted to login using different account credentials same problem occured.
