Router wont navigate back to parent path when nesting stack with dynamic params

[oliviercperrier]

Which package manager are you using? (Yarn is recommended)

npm

Summary

When nesting multiple Stack with dynamic params, i cant navigate back to the top parent.

For example with this router setup:

(home) -> /orders (Slot) -> /[id] (Stack) -> /products (Stack) -> /[productId] -> /details (Stack)

from /orders/1/products/1/details, using a Link or calling router.push('/orders/1') wont do anything.

unclear how to repro with the provided repo. Additionally, nesting stacks inside of other stacks will often not work.

@EvanBacon You need to follow these steps:

• Go to /orders/1/products/1/- details
• Click on the button "Go back to order" (it wont navigate back)

@EvanBacon

so ive found why it wasnt working.

This file structure doesn't work.

It wont navigate from /accounts/[slug]/action/[programId] to /accounts/[slug] using router.push

But with this file structure, it does work. (See that removing index and giving it a name changed everything)

Now i can navigate from /accounts/[slug]/action/[programId]/allocate to /accounts/[slug] using router.push

@oliviercperrier Facing a similar issue and I think your fix works out of luck. In your fix the /accounts/[slug] route matches the allocate.tsx file only because it is alphabetically the first match in the folder.

What if you move the index file to /accounts/[slug]/?

allocate.tsx is not under /accounts/[slug]/ its under /accounts/[slug]/action/[programId] so not sure how it would match /accounts/[slug]/

@oliviercperrier oh, that's true my bad reading it wrong.
