react-router-redux Redirects no longer trigger an action to the reducer

Version

react-router-redux@5.0.0-alpha.7 & react-router-redux@5.0.0-alpha.8

Summary

Redirects in a route nolonger trigger an action to the reducer.

Steps to reproduce

My routes setup.

const Routes = ({store}) => (
  <CoreLayout>
    <Switch>
      <Route exact={true} path='/' render={Routes.homeRedirect} />
      <Route path='/photos/:folder*' component={PhotoView} />
    </Switch>
  </CoreLayout>
)

Routes.homeRedirect = () => (
  <Redirect to='/photos' />
)

Expected Behavior

In version alpha.6 both the initial page load and the redirect are sent to the reducer.

{
  type: '@@router/LOCATION_CHANGE',
  payload: {
    pathname: '/',
    search: '',
    hash: ''
  }
}

{
  type: '@@router/LOCATION_CHANGE',
  payload: {
    pathname: '/photos',
    search: '',
    hash: '',
    key: 'mswocw'
  }
}

Actual Behavior

With version alpha.7 and 8 the only initial page load is sent to the reducer

{
  type: '@@router/LOCATION_CHANGE',
  payload: {
    pathname: '/',
    search: '',
    hash: ''
  }
}

Experiencing this issue as well.

Connected Router beings listening to history in componentDidMount and react-router Redirect performs the history push in componentDidMount as well. Because componentDidMount is called on children before the parent, there is a moment where a Redirect pushes a new history but the Connected Router is not yet listening to history.

Alpha 9 is up. We’ll get this right at some point…
