Steps to reproduce

Navigate to a catch all route with a named route redirect

  {
    path: '/:pathMatch(.*)*',
    redirect: { name: 'HOME' }
  }

What is expected?

No warnings

What is actually happening?

Warning displayed: Discarded invalid param(s) "pathMatch" when navigating. See https://github.com/vuejs/router/blob/main/packages/router/CHANGELOG.md#414-2022-08-22 for more details.

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.

It's the very first comment, I added some extra examples: #1617 (comment)
