vue-router not rendering component, but changing url on this.$router.push - vue.js

Question

I'm trying to redirect to a Menu after pressing a button, I have followed this tutorial
but it's not working,
When Pressing my button the url updates, but stays in the same view, it's also adding /#/ to my url instead of following what I coded in routes.js
I'm getting the next error on console
Uncaught (in promise)
NavigationDuplicated {
_name: "NavigationDuplicated",
name: "NavigationDuplicated",
message: "Navigating to current location ("/menu") is not allowed", stack:
When pressing the button the url turns into http://localhost:8080/#/menu instead of
http://localhost:8080/menu
If I manually type the url http://localhost:8080/menu turns into this
http://localhost:8080/menu/#/
Please help, I'm fairly new to vuejs
This is the structure of my project
main.js
import Vue from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'
import VueRouter from 'vue-router'
import vuetify from './plugins/vuetify'
import routes from './routes'
import 'roboto-fontface/css/roboto/roboto-fontface.css'
import '#mdi/font/css/materialdesignicons.css'
Vue.config.productionTip = false
Vue.use(VueRouter)
const router = new VueRouter({routes});
new Vue({
render: h => h(App),
router,
vuetify
}).$mount('#app')
App.vue
<template>
<div id="app">
<Home/>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Home from './views/Home.vue'

my routes.js
import Vue from 'vue'
import VueRouter from 'vue-router'
import Home from './views/Home.vue'
import About from './views/About.vue'
import TraceabilityMenu from './views/TraceabilityMenu.vue'
Vue.use(VueRouter)
const routes = [
{ path: '/', component: Home, name: 'home' },
{ path: '/menu', component: TraceabilityMenu, name: 'traceability-menu' },
{path: '/about', component: About, name: 'about'}
]
export default routes;

On your main.js file try changing
const router = new VueRouter({routes});
to
const router = new VueRouter({routes, mode: 'history'});
Edit: Also check if you have included the router-view tag on your root component App.vue.
