This is due to the implicit parameter being passed during a redirection. You can workaround it by passing an empty object of Params alongside the name of the route: redirect: { name: 'home', params: {} } or a function to pick the params you want: redirect: to => ({ name: '...', params: { id: to.id }})

I’m unsure if this warning can be avoided without removing it. Worst case scenario we can also mention the workaround in the warning

This works, thank you.

I have no strong opinion on this, I understand why the warning is there since I'm redirecting to a route that has no parameters so the workaround makes sense to me.
