Getting this warning, and I don’t see any async in UnathenticatedRoute

```
Warning: Can't perform a React state update on an unmounted component. This is a no-op, but it indicates a memory leak in your application. To fix, cancel all subscriptions and asynchronous tasks in the componentWillUnmount method.
in Login (at UnauthenticatedRoute.js:27)

This means that there is a `setState` getting called after the component has been unmounted. On which step of the chapter are you seeing this?

I’ve implemented the “Redirect on login” code… I get that warning when I log in (from logged out state). Enter email/password, click log in, spins while loading, and then I get that warning right before it navigates home.

Did you remove this line as it talks about in the chapter?

```auto
this.props.history.push("/");

```

This statement, IMHO, is misleading:

> Now let’s update our _Redirect_ component to use this when it redirects.

True, **Redirect** is a component, but it’s not “our’s”, it’s from **react-router-dom**. And true, it is that component’s code that must be modified, but wouldn’t it be clearer to direct the reader to “our” component, **UnauthenticatedRoute** , which includes **Redirect**?

Thanks for considering.

Thanks for the heads up. Edited that line a bit.

If I try to access a noteId without being logged in I get successfully sent to the login page with the redirect link. However, I am then able to login as any user and see the note. Is this an error on my end, or just something not covered in this tutorial? I understand it’s a demo and not every little security hole needs to be patched up, just want to make sure I didn’t miss anything on my end.

Love the tutorial, it has taught me so much. Thank you for putting your time and effort in to this great resource!

No that shouldn’t happen. Can you try this on the hosted demo:
