Why is redirect not supported from __error.svelte cmpt?

I have a small reproducible example here.

In the __error.svelte cmpt I have thrown in a redirect like this in the load function:

 return {
                status: 302,
                redirect: '/login'
            }

But this is not working. Is this a bug, not allowed - or do I misunderstand something here?

I talked about this with the rest of the maintainers at today’s maintainer’s meeting. Folks suggested you could already do this in one of a couple ways:

• for the 404 case, create a [fallthough].svelte that would catch any unhandled routes and redirect there
• for other cases, do it in handle. (call resolve, check the returned status, and then do a redirect based on that)

There was a consensus that redirecting on error pages is in general a bit of a weird thing to do and so folks didn’t want to add support for it directly into the router, but instead suggested it be handled in these other ways since it’s a relatively uncommon use case

Hey I’ve added a [fallthough].svelte but it doesn’t catch 404 form urls with subsequent path: /someInvalidUrl => ok /someInvalidUrl/otherPage => not ok Any ideas to catch all urls that are giving 404s?
