Danger alert does not appear unless I refresh the page

[maddog666]

The plugin works when I do router push to another location, however, it does not work if I want alert to show right away.
For example, I am using danger alert to warn users when there is an error during logins, such as incorrect password, or incorrect user. In these situations, the route does not change (no this.$router.push).
How do I flash an alert right away when the route does not change?

Is there an appropriate way to handle this? I'm guessing it has to do with how Vuex updates state?
