Steps to reproduce

Call this method on click buttons to scroll down and up the same page:

methods: {                                                                                                                                     
    moveToAnchor(hashbang) {                                                                                                                     
      this.$router.push(`#${hashbang}`)                                                                                                          
      this.$vuetify.goTo(`#${hashbang}`)                                                                                                         
      console.log(this.$route.hash)      // this gives me the right thing                                                                                                        
    }                                                                                                                                            
  }   

What is expected ?

Navigating back and forward the browser history should work

What is actually happening?

Clicking on the browser's back or forward buttons does not move the page anywhere

@begueradj Does it work in pure vue + vue-router? :thinking:

[begueradj]

I use only Nuxt.js but I will try it in Vue.js by the end of the day, thank you for the feedback.

@begueradj Just to make sure it's not a vue-router bug :relaxed:

[begueradj]

@manniL You were right, there is this same issue with Vue.js (vue-router). I will try to understand what is going on before reporting a bug to Vue.js team. Somehow I think router.push() expects only routes, not anchors within the same route; but then it is mysterious that console.log(this.$route.hash) outputs the anchors in question. Thank you very much for the feedback, handsome and smart boy.

@begueradj Glad I could help :relaxed:
