start_page url not working for role?

[stephenmeehanuk]

I've edited the start_page URL for a role called gm_editor in resources/users/roles.yaml, it looks like this:

start_page: /cp/collections/gm_pages

When I login as a user assigned with the gm_editor role, it redirects here: /cp//cp/collections/gm_pages

I'm also using the cp nav preferences feature, and noticed the url for each item doesn't
include the /cp part, it's like this url: collections/gm_pages

So I tried that too,

    start_page: collections/gm_pages

But it still redirects to /cp//cp/collections/gm_pages

This is a multisite.

Here's the code that figures it out:

$url = config('statamic.cp.route').'/'.Preference::get('start_page', config('statamic.cp.start_page'));

What is your CP route set to?

Ah, It's working now. Thanks.

I think what was throwing me was, Statamic remembers where I was before logging out (even if the URL is wrong). It takes me back to the last URL when I log back in.

The start_page value is only used when there's no _previous value (storage/framework/sessions). Like a first time user logging in, when a session has completely cleared or logging in from a new browser.

That's what was throwing me. I kept clearing the cache with php artisan optimize:clear but that didn't clear the session (_previous) value.
