logout doesn't log out of auth0 if current url has a path

I have a logout button on my site, and when it’s clicked I’m calling the following:

logout() {
    // Ensure Auth0 client instance exists
    this.auth0Client$.subscribe((client: Auth0Client) => {
      // Call method to log out
      client.logout({
        client_id: environment.clientID,
        returnTo: `${window.location.origin}`
      });
    });
  }

If I’m on the root of my app (ie. no URL path), then it correctly signs me out of Auth0 as well my app. In Fiddler I can see that the /v2/logout request is made to Auth0. All’s good here.

However, if I’m on a page of my app, and click the logout button which calls the above code - it tries to do the redirect without calling the /v2/logout endpoint.

I’m not sure why this would be the case. I can’t find anything in my app that would differentiate like this.

What was the expected behavior?

It to logout of Auth0 regardless of what page/url the user is in.

Reproduction

I haven’t tried to create a cutdown version of the app, as this would take time. I’ll try this next if the above isn’t enough info though. I’m sure I must be doing something daft!

Environment

Please provide the following:

• Version of auth0-spa-js used: 1.13.5
• Which browsers have you tested in? Chrome
• Which framework are you using, if applicable (Angular, React, etc): Angular
• Other modules/plugins/libraries that might be involved:

Ah thanks - I’ll change that to a button.

Yeah - I’m not sure (can’t remember) why I didn’t initially use your Angular library. I don’t want to change it now though, as it works.

@frederikprijck Thanks - it’ll take some time for me to come up with a reproducible case that I can share, and it’ll be in the new year now. I’ll add it to my list for when I start back. It sounds like there’s no obvious reason why that method call would do one thing for one URL and another for the root URL though. I’ll do a bit more digging after the xmas break, and reply back here if I find anything (or manage to create a reproducable case that I can share).
