Description

I've tried to use push history and Redirect but the effect is always the same, location is changed on browser, but expected Component is not rendered (render method of previous url is called instead). I've tried to use withRouter in compose but also no effect.

App.js:

HomePage: if (toEquity === true) { let whereTo = '/equities/' + selectedSuggestion; return }

EquityPage is not rendered and not even his methods (componentDidMount, componentWillReceiveProps, ...)

Thanks in advance.

Research direction
The issue reports that using Redirect in a component (HomePage) does not render the target component (EquityPage). The user tried withRouter with no effect. Investigate the React Router setup in App.js: ensure all Route components are rendered within a Router. Check if HomePage is a child of a Route. If redux connect is used, verify mapStateToProps does not block re renders. Look at the boilerplate's src/App.js and src/containers/HomePage/index.js. Consider if the issue is due to missing withRouter on HomePage or incorrect use of Redirect inside a conditional render.
