I am using Angular 2's new router and faced with strange behaviour while using the routing API in the code to navigate.
Package Versions : Angular Core = "2.0.0-rc.1" & Router = "3.0.0-alpha.5"
While using router in html as shown below, it works fine and the application navigates to the target when clicking on the link.
<a [routerLink]="['target']">
However, if I change above link to call a function (e.g. showTarget()) and use router api as shown below, it does not navigate to target.
showTarget() { let link = ['target']; this.router.navigate(link).then( function(){ console.log('navigate success'); }, function(){ console.log('navigate failure'); } ); }
With above code, the console shows 'navigate success' but nothing happens on the screen. URL on the browser and the current page both stay unchanged.
I also tried navigating to some dummy link to see if it logs 'navigate failure' but it always shows 'success' no matter what link is specified.
let link = ['target']; this.router.navigate(link).catch(err => console.error(err)); link = ['non-existing-target']; this.router.navigate(link).then( function(){ console.log('navigate success'); }, function(){ console.log('navigate failure'); } );
How do I debug what's causing this behaviour?
