Steps to Reproduce

• Create a context inside the root route and export it
• In the root component render the provider of the context
• In another root import that context and use it with useContext

It should either not duplicate the code or throw an error if you import from another route.

Actual Behavior

You don’t see any error or warning, and the useContext will not return the value the Provider received.

Have you tried creating the context outside of the routes folder and importing it accordingly to your routes?

Yes, that’s what I always recommend everyone with this issue, I didn’t opened the issue because I have the problem but because a lot of people do this.
