Compatibility issue with useraccounts:flow-routing

[Almaju]

Hi and thanks for the nice work!

I ran into some weird issues (for instance template helpers not working) after switching to your package. After hours of investigations and lot of tests, I identified the issue coming from useraccounts:flow-routing.

You can find a reproduction of the bug here: https://github.com/Almaju/fre-testing The page shall display "/" instead of "home". This bug disappears as soon as I remove the useraccounts:flow-routing package (import has to be uncommented on /lib/router.js though).

I will investigate a bit more on this and why it happens.

Hello @Almaju ,

Unfortunately useraccounts:flow-routing package is not compatible with this package. I recommend to fork it and replace kadira:flow-router with ostrio:flow-router-extra. Full switch to ostrio:flow-router-extra may require some work.

Or at least leave an issue and ask for support of ostrio:flow-router-extra.

Thanks for the answer! I posted an issue on their repo. Might be useful to inform this compatibility issue in the doc though. :)

Honestly useraccounts:flow-routing looks stale and dead, lots of open issues for a long time, and codebase remains untouched since 2015.

Hope we're or someone quicker will fork useraccounts:flow-routing and adapt it for ostrio:flow-router-extra.

Pushed a package to atmoshpere with flow-routing-extra support.

@kwuite awesome 😃 Don't you mind if we will add your package to our Readme? If so, - drop me single line description.

[kwuite]

@dr-dimitru , sure thing, just keep the description equal to the original package I'd say. We will keep the package up-to-date for our needs and if there are errors just push them to us;).

Done, thank you @kwuite .
