Expected or Desired Behavior

When navigating from one page to another (using an link), this.context.pageContext should reflect the newly loaded page.

Observed Behavior

When navigating from one page to another, this.context.pageContext remains unchanges. This causes API calls to fail or produce faulty results.
This seems to be caused by the page not entirely refreshing when navigating between (modern) pages. Only the "main" content is updated (~ MDS).

@NickSevens , we are working on this.

[NickSevens]

@manishgarg1 any way to work around the issue in the mean time?

[manishgarg1]

@NickSevens, finding out.

Any progress on this one? We have the same issue. We have a spfx web part that updates a field on the page item. If I've come from another page and edit the current page, the old page is being updated. Looks like this.context is not updated because it's not a full page reload.

Currently attempting a workaround by getting the page id with /GetFileByServerRelativeUrl and then updating the appropriate item.

@tarjeieo using the same workaround indeed...

Hi @tarjeieo, when you say this.context is not updated, can you please be a bit more explicit about what parts of the context are not updated on page-transition? Is this.context.pageContext not updated? If not, what exact fields in this.context.pageContext are not updated?

Hi @manishgarg1, I created a new issue for my problem with some more details, see #1201.

Closing this issue since 1201 is opened.
