React Router not found page showing up on all paths
I'm experimenting with a bit of React Routing, and I experienced a problem when I tried to make an error page, which occurs each time the users gets a 404 error, which prompts a message:
import React from "react";
const Error = props => {
return(
<div>
<p>
Path does not exist!
</p>
</div>
)
}
export default Error;
I wrapped all my paths, with a switch statement, to only make it apply to the absolute paths.
class App extends Component {
render() {
return (
<BrowserRouter>
<Switch>
<div>
<Route exact path="/" component={Home} />
<Route exact path="/about" component={About} />
<Route path="*" exact component={Error} />
</div>
</Switch>
</BrowserRouter>
);
}
}
but know whenever I access a path, the Error component shows up.
But I since I wrap in a Switch component, and use exact, shouldn't the Error component only show up, whenever another path does not exist?

shot in the dark but have you tried removing thediv? Also thepath="*"is not needed you do not have to supply the path param if you always want it to show.
