Javascript – Uncaught Error: Could not find a matching route when redirecting to /login page after logout

I’m trying to implement JWT in my project and an article provides a nice solution:

https://dev.to/sanjayttg/jwt-authentication-in-react-with-react-router-1d03.

Routes.jsx

import { RouterProvider, createBrowserRouter } from "react-router-dom";
import { useAuth } from "../provider/authProvider";
import { ProtectedRoute } from "./ProtectedRoute";
import Login from "../pages/Login";
import Logout from "../pages/Logout";

const Routes = () => {
  const { token } = useAuth();

  // Define public routes accessible to all users
  const routesForPublic = [
    {
      path: "/service",
      element: <div>Service Page</div>,
    },
    {
      path: "/about-us",
      element: <div>About Us</div>,
    },
  ];

  // Define routes accessible only to authenticated users
  const routesForAuthenticatedOnly = [
    {
      path: "/",
      element: <ProtectedRoute />, // Wrap the component in ProtectedRoute
      children: [
        {
          path: "",
          element: <div>User Home Page</div>,
        },
        {
          path: "/profile",
          element: <div>User Profile</div>,
        },
        {
          path: "/logout",
          element: <Logout/>,
        },
      ],
    },
  ];

  // Define routes accessible only to non-authenticated users
  const routesForNotAuthenticatedOnly = [
    {
      path: "/",
      element: <div>Home Page</div>,
    },
    {
      path: "/login",
      element: <Login/>,
    },
  ];

  // Combine and conditionally include routes based on authentication status
  const router = createBrowserRouter([
    ...routesForPublic,
    ...(!token ? routesForNotAuthenticatedOnly : []),
    ...routesForAuthenticatedOnly,
  ]);

  // Provide the router configuration using RouterProvider
  return <RouterProvider router={router} />;
};

export default Routes;

ProtectedRoute.jsx

import { Navigate, Outlet } from "react-router-dom";
import { useAuth } from "../provider/authProvider";

export const ProtectedRoute = () => {
  const { token } = useAuth();

  // Check if the user is authenticated
  if (!token) {
    // If not authenticated, redirect to the login page
    return <Navigate to="/login" />;
  }

  // If authenticated, render the child routes
  return <Outlet />;
};

I basically created aa Auth context providing token information to all routes and allows access to routes on whether the user has a token or not. It also has a login and logout system removing/creating tokens.

The code provided works fine as it is. The problem arises when I want to redirect the user to the "/login" page instead of the "/" page after logging out. e.g. I changed navigate("/", { replace: true }) to navigate("/login", { replace: true }); in Logout.jsx.

I get this error:

Consider adding an error boundary to your tree to customize error handling behavior.
Visit https://reactjs.org/link/error-boundaries to learn more about error boundaries.

It’s an uncaught error but even when adding errorElement to the routes the errors still persist. Even then, I still do not know why there would be an error. I’ve been trying to figure out the issue for hours but no success.
