Using named form actions and return fail

[janzheng]

Hi everyone,

I'm using having a hard time with using named actions and returning fail from the server. I've spent a lot of time figuring this out from the docs, but it seems like if you're using a named action from another route, this doesn't work?

The problem is that I have a bunch of dynamic actions so putting some of these actions in the root is super helpful, but then my "fail" redirects all mess up.

In fail(), is there a way to add a redirect URL?

<form method="POST" action="/?/saveAction">
  <button type="submit">Save</button>
</form>

If I'm using a named action from another route, my browser ends up navigating to localhost/?/saveAction rather than stay on the same page. The server just does a

return fail(500, {
   form
})

Thanks!

Ok as an ugly way to get around this, I'm plopping in +page.server.js in various routes doing this, in order to put all my actions in one place. Kind of ugly but it works!

import { actions as _actions } from '$routes/+page.server.js'
export const actions = _actions
