Role gated pages on localhost

Stack:
Vue
Nuxt.
Netlify CLI.

Using _redirect file to set up gated content. It works when deployed , but running netlify dev I cannot get it to work.

basic example of the redirect file would be

/private /private 200! Role=admin
/private /login 302!

I have admin role account I’ve set up on the netlify that works when site is deployed. The gated content is gated correctly and I can access it when I log in. Locally I cannot, after the log in its like my account is missing the admin role. Even though in local storage when I check I see I have the admin role in roles.

Hi @vorci

Welcome to Netlify

Have a look at this thread that outlines the same (albeit without roles) problem and links to an open GitHub issue.

Hi!
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I couldnt find anything related to my issue on the links you’ve provided.

I suppose another question would be, how do people test/debug gated content locally? Does it usually work? Or do we accept the fact we need to deploy in order to test it out.

I believe RBAC was fixed in this PR: fix(command-dev): role based redirects by erezrokah · Pull Request #1545 · netlify/cli · GitHub, so it should work.

Also to confirm, the name of the file is _redirects and not _redirect. Possibly a typo?

Hi!
Thanks for the reply.
Yes the _redirects is correctly named. I would like to note again that locally redirects work, the issue that does not work is that my account that Im logged in with ( which has admin role assigned to it ) is not recognized as admin locally, so content that is gated I cannot access with that adming role account. But when deployed it is.
