I'm trying to redirect using nodejs and expressjs, but when I click on button nothing happens only url changes. I'm using a form and within it has a button, this form has an action to "/failure"

const express = require("express")

const bodyparser = require("body-parser")

const request = require("request")

const app = express()

app.use(express.static("public"))

app.use(bodyparser.urlencoded({

  extended: true

}))

app.get("/", function (req, res) {

  res.sendFile(__dirname + "/signup.html")

})

app.post("/failure", function(req, res){

   res.redirect("/")

})

app.listen(3000, function () {

  console.log("Server is running on port 3000")

})

Have you tried

res.redirect(307, '/test');

});

This will preserve the send method.
