Google Optimize redirect tests with gtag

I am developing a static site using gatsby.js. I need to set up a redirect test using Google Optimize. I created the redirect test at https://optimize.google.com and started it. After that, I used this code to set up the redirect tests in the site:

gtag('config', 'UA-48341628-1', {'optimize_id': 'GTM-XXXXXX'});
gtag('set', {'expId': 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'});
gtag('set', {'expVar':'New Signup Page'});

The purpose of the test is to redirect some people from /signup to /sign-up. But when I am going to /signup nothing happens even if I am setting 0 weight to /signup and 100% weight to /sign-up. What am I doing wrong?

My Google Optimize setup: enter image description here

The problem existed as I've tried to use localhost as the base URL which has not been recognized by Google Optimize. I've solved the problem by using http://test.io as the base URL and have added it to my /etc/hosts mapped to 127.0.0.1.

Based on the Analytics field-reference, the Experiment Variation must be provided as the index of the selected variation, not by its name. So in your case:

gtag('set', {'expVar':'1'});
