Facing the same issue.

Julia v1.7.3 Genie v4.18.0 GenieAuthentication v1.1.0

Code Snippets

routes.jl

#Route for the admin area of the app
route("/admin/movies", AdminController.index, named = :get_home)

route("/movies/add", method = GET, named = :get_add_movie) do
  @authenticated!
  html(:movies, :movie_form)
end

AdminController.jl

module AdminController

using GenieAuthentication, Genie.Renderer, Genie.Exceptions, Genie.Renderer.Html

function index()
  println("Before @authenticated!")
  @authenticated!
  println("After @authenticated!")
  h1("Welcome Admin") |> html  
end

end

Observations

Redirection works for a while when I make some changes in AdminController.jl and try again. Like adding a println() or removing a println().

With

[AbhimanyuAryan]

This works fine. What seems to the problem? When I login. I am redirected to h1("Welcome Admin") |> html. If you want to redirect to some different route after login redirect(:route_name)????

routes.jl

using Genie.Router
using MoviesController
using AdminController

route("/admin/movies", AdminController.index, named = :get_home)

route("/") do
  serve_static_file("welcome.html")
end

route("/movies", MoviesController.index)

# ... routes.jl
route("/movies/search", MoviesController.search, named = :search_movies)

route("/movies/search_api", MoviesController.search_api)

AdminController.jl

module AdminController

using GenieAuthentication, Genie.Renderer, Genie.Exceptions, Genie.Renderer.Html

function index()
  @authenticated!
  h1("Welcome Admin") |> html
end

end

Also I redirected to another route if logged in and hit api/movies and that worked too

module AdminController

using GenieAuthentication, Genie.Renderer, Genie.Exceptions, Genie.Renderer.Html

function index()
  @authenticated!
  redirect(:get_after_login)
end

end

routes.jl

# *** 
route("/admin/movies", AdminController.index, named = :get_home)
# ****

route("/after_login") do
  "hello"
end

[AbhimanyuAryan]

Also, the AuthenticationController is redirected to show the success page. You can change the code here to redirect to some other route

module AuthenticationController

using Genie, Genie.Renderer, Genie.Renderer.Html, Genie.Flash
using SearchLight
using GenieAuthentication
using ViewHelper
using Users
using Logging

function show_login()
  html(:authentication, :login, context = @__MODULE__)
end

function login()
  try
    user = findone(User, username = params(:username), password = Users.hash_password(params(:password)))
    authenticate(user.id, Genie.Sessions.session(params()))

    redirect(:success)             # <-----------------------  here it's so after login you get this...
  catch ex
    flash("Authentication failed! ")

    redirect(:show_login)
  end
end

function success()
  html(:authentication, :success, context = @__MODULE__)
end

function logout()
  deauthenticate(Genie.Sessions.session(params()))

  flash("Good bye! ")

  redirect(:show_login)
end

function show_register()
  html(:authentication, :register, context = @__MODULE__)
end

function register()
  try
    user = User(username  = params(:username),
                password  = params(:password) |> Users.hash_password,
                name      = params(:name),
                email     = params(:email)) |> save!

    authenticate(user.id, Genie.Sessions.session(params()))

    "Registration successful"
  catch ex
    @error ex

    if hasfield(typeof(ex), :msg)
      flash(ex.msg)
    else
      flash(string(ex))
    end

    redirect(:show_register)
  end
end

end

Confirmed, there was an issue that the @authenticated! macro did not have the path for the redirect, causing the redirect to fail.

"Fixed" in version 2.1 --> @authenticated! should be replaced with authenticated!() (macro with function with same name).

The README has been updated to reflect this.
