Vue router not following children paths - vue.js

Question

I'm having problems to make my http://localhost:8080/myapps/config route load. If I use http://localhost:8080/myapps everything works ok and I get a list of my apps. But when I want to access an app config through http://localhost:8080/myapps/config it loads the content of /myapps again. However, the url in my browser shows the correct path /myapps/config.
I have been checking the routher for some hours but everything seems to be ok. Could anybody shed some light?
My router file:
import Vue from 'vue'
import Router from 'vue-router'
const MyApps = () => import('../views/app/subviews/MyApps');
const AppKeyValue = () => import('../views/app/subviews/AppKeyValue');
import MainView from '../views/app/MainView'
Vue.use(Router)
export default new Router({
mode: 'history',
routes:
[
{
path: '/',
component: MainView,
redirect: 'myapps',
children:
[
{
path: 'myapps',
component: MyApps,
meta:
{
requiresAuth: true,
breadcrumb: 'My Apps'
},
children:
[
{
path: 'config',
component: AppKeyValue,
meta:
{
requiresAuth: true,
breadcrumb: 'App configuration'
}
},
]
},
]
},
]
})
Everything works ok if I don't use child routes:
export default new Router({
mode: 'history',
routes:
[
{
path: '/',
component: MainView,
redirect: 'myapps',
children:
[
{
path: 'myapps',
component: MyApps,
meta:
{
requiresAuth: true,
title: 'message.ecommerce',
breadcrumb: 'My Apps'
},
},
{
path: 'myapps/config',
component: AppKeyValue,
meta:
{
requiresAuth: true,
title: 'message.ecommerce',
breadcrumb: 'App configuration'
}
}
]
}
]}

You didn't post your *.vue components, but I assume you're missing <router-view> in the second level component.
Example:
MainView is mapped to / and has 1 children route (/myapps). You're probably using <router-view> in your MainView.
MyApps is mapped to myapps as a children of the /-route and has 1 children route (/config).
Add a <router-view to your MyApps.vue to let it display its children (which is just /config in your case).
Similarly, a rendered component can also contain its own, nested <router-view>.
https://router.vuejs.org/guide/essentials/nested-routes.html#nested-routes
BTW: That's also why your second router config is working: The main route has two children (/myapps and /myapps/config), which both get displayed by the MainView's <router-view>.
Here is a working example from the documentation:
