}
},
action: function (params) {

}
});

[vmusulainen]

Yes. I have got same error.

[ManojBitx]

@vmusulainen
I moved my routing.js to "lib/routing.js"
Now it working fine. Please try this.

[vmusulainen]

Yes, I agree all work fine if the route for "/" is set in a file and this file can be found.
But I faced with this error just after adding flow-iron package to my app. I have no any import "flow-roter" directive in any files yet.
Such behavior seems strange for me.

[ManojBitx]

You can only use one routing package in a application. It always conflicts. Try removing Iron Router.

[vmusulainen]

No-no, I haven't any router in the app before.

when meteor starts the next code is executed

meteor://💻app/packages/kadira_flow-router/client/_init.js

// Initialize FlowRouter
Meteor.startup(function () {
  if(!FlowRouter._askedToWait) {
    FlowRouter.initialize();
  }
});

[ManojBitx]

Can you show me installed packages list.

I can confirm this... I 've spent the whole day trying to find out what is going on... In addition, if I move my routes.js to /lib, then I face problems when importing html templates which now have to be imported in routes.js as meteor cannot see them anymore in /imports/ui

Had exactly the same issues. Only way I could solve it was going to a full meteor modules application structure per the meteor guide: http://guide.meteor.com/structure.html

Seems like overkill for the small demo app I was putting together to demonstrate a different problem but at least it works now.

[pmoulos]

After lot of testing it seems that either Meteor 1.3 or the FlowRouter is extremely sensitive to errors that did not use to break apps. Most probably the former as now the order of imports is important. For example, I am using the Buttons plugin of DataTables. It could not find some default settings before the actual plugin was loaded next. I had to prefix with 00- to force loading order in /client/compatibility, then the error went away and the application starts...

[gstrobl]

Does anyone found a solution for this problem?

[delki8]

+1

[daveyshindig]

Do I really have to refactor my entire application to fix this?

[blackode]

++ same is this problem solved?

[sturoid]

Same problem here. I am in the middle of moving my entire application to /imports and it started popping up about 80% of the way through. No matter what I do I can't get it to recognize the routes I have defined now.

[Nexus7]

I think I may have the same issue... still researching... but @vmusulainen your steps for reproducing may not be correct. After completing steps 1-4 you still have not created a router file. If you add a routes.js file in /lib with a path for '/' then you shouldn't see the error...

The above does make me think that the error is caused when FlowRouter cannot find the routes file, which is strange in my case as it exists in the /lib directory too...

[tyler-dunkel]

hi also having this issue. Any updates on this? Can i force it to load first by changing the file name or something?

[sturoid]

I fixed this finally. I removed any wait() and ready() callbacks from FlowRouter and handled any redirects inside my React "Application" component. Once I took that logic out of FlowRouter everything worked great.

[ghost]

I also hit this problem now. I'm using Meteor 1.4 release.

My app was working until I git-cloned flow-router to myproj/packages/
and added it to my project. Suddenly FlowRouter could not find any routes.

It turns out it doesn't matter what router you import, if any type of router is part of your project it gets loaded.
So I had to remove the old (kadira:flow-router) and then the cloned one worked without the invisible conflict.

---

For anyone still experiencing this issue, you can try what Nexus7 suggested above, move myroutes.js to /lib but you don't have to move all your components. You can keep your components in /imports/client. I just tried it. Just wrap your import { foo } from '/imports/client/... stuff with if (Meteor.isClient) { and your set trigger stuff etc etc.

[noahsw]

@Nexus7 - can you post a forked meteor-todos with your change? I'm not following your fix 100%. Thx!

[deligence]

We are facing the same error. Anyone who has solved this issue?

[ghost]

Hello I figured 2 bugs on my side that lead to this error message:

• Put your routing logic in "lib" folder
  • as explained above, the jsx files that calls FlowRouter.route(...) must be in "lib" folder, else it doesn't work in the "root" or in the "client" folders
  • I tried the if (Meteor.isClient) { suggested above but it didn't work for me
• meteor add ecmascript
  • I have an old application that has been upgraded from 1.2 to 1.3 and lately to 1.4.1 and for some reason I figured out that the JSX files were not run at all, I had to manually add the ecmascript package and then it started to work

[szimmers]

i found a timing issue with FlowRouter and AccountsTemplates, and waiting the FlowRouter.

i found this code in useraccounts_flow-routing:

// Initialization
if (FlowRouter && FlowRouter.initialize) {
  // In order for ensureSignIn triggers to work,
  // AccountsTemplates must be initialized before FlowRouter
  // (this is now true since useraccounts:core is being executed first...)
  var oldInitialize = FlowRouter.initialize;
  FlowRouter.initialize = function() {
    AccountsTemplates._init();
    oldInitialize.apply(this, arguments);
  };
}

that indicated to me there may be a race condition. whenever i had the failed route, i saw that AccountsTemplates was not yet initialized, so i changed my flow router wait code to include its initialize, and it seems to be working for me (this is at the top of my lib/routes.js):

if (Meteor.isClient) {
    FlowRouter.wait();
    Tracker.autorun(function() {
        if (Roles.subscription.ready() && AccountsTemplates._initialized && !FlowRouter._initialized) {
            FlowRouter.initialize()
        }
    });
}

... i put in this wait originally so i could easily check user roles (a la AccountsTemplates.ensureSignedIn) in some of the routes...

[szimmers]

per my comment above, it does look to fix 1 race condition. but i was still able to get into a scenario where there's a blank screen. unsure why: both the AT initialize and the FlowRouter initialize are still false, but the autorun seems to have stopped.

[szimmers]

if it helps anyone, i believe i've solved my 2nd race condition. it looks like AccountsTemplates._initialized could flip to true, but the autorun() wouldn't run. further, i attached an onStop() listener to the autorun() to demonstrate that it wasn't stopping.

it's a little ugly, but i used a timer to re-evaluate AccountsTemplates._initialized and invalidate the tracker once it goes true. so far, so good on getting rid of all of my blank screens.

if (Meteor.isClient) {
    FlowRouter.wait();

    var self = this;
    self.getATReady = () => AccountsTemplates._initialized;

    var timer = Meteor.setInterval(function() {
        if (self.getATReady()) {
            tracker.invalidate();
            clearInterval(timer);
        }
    }, 500);

    var tracker = Tracker.autorun(function() {
        if (!FlowRouter._initialized && Roles.subscription.ready() && self.getATReady()) {
            clearInterval(timer);
            FlowRouter.initialize()
        }
    });
}

[grinono]

i'm having the exact same issue when i try to deploy.
running:

• meteor 1.4.1
• deployment with mup
• Webapp build with React

currently testing the bug with

meteor run --production --settings settings-production.json

Try to solve it with;

1. change the routes.js file location to /import/clients/routes.js
2. change between mup/mupx and new mup deployment..
3. change to flowrouter ServerSideRendering
4. check for any Ready()
5. tried @szimmers code in routing.js before FlowRouter.route()

Maybe changing to react router would do the trick.. but thats quite some migration effort.
If anyone found a solution for the "There is no route for the path: /" in production bundling. That would be great.

[cesarve77]

Any updates?

[karldanninger]

Yep, same here! 💅

[grinono]

I cant help. I moved the project to react router. Much lager community to solve these issues.

[FrancisBou]

In my case the /import/client/startup/routes.js does not even run before Flowrouter so of course it has no routes.. I too wait for subscriptions from roles. Cloned flow-router in packages as well.

[arrygoo]

Having issues here as well.

[jonarnaldo]

same here. any progress on this issue?

[cesarve77]

I my case i follow the answer of @szimmers, it's works while we got a official and better solution.

[newdayrising]

I faced this issue when I tried to use Bootstrap 4 by placing it in a /main/client/lib/bootstrap/ folder (I attempted a million different methods for importing Bootstrap, no matter what I did it always loaded AFTER my custom css file - hence the lib folder). Bootstrap 4 gave an error in the console (described here: twbs/bootstrap#18732) - "Bootstrap tooltips require Tether."

I downgraded Bootstrap to the latest v3 which doesn't require Tether and the Flow Router issue was resolved.

This is congruent with the issue as described by @pmoulos :

After lot of testing it seems that either Meteor 1.3 or the FlowRouter is extremely sensitive to errors that did not use to break apps.

[AllanPinheiroDeLima]

I had the same problem once, what I did is delete all installed packages from package.json (not the ones who came with Meteor itself), then install one by one, first flow-router, then kadira blaze layout and tested with the two of then. Turns out it was a problem in the initialization of the plugin. It's a guess, but I think that I faced the problem because or I did'nt stopped the server before initialize flow router in first time or it was a package helper to flow router that was throwing an error.

So:

• Uninstall all packages
• Add in your terminal, not the package.json, kadira flow router and kadira: blaze-layout
• Test with Google's of Firefox's console open

PS; sorry for this bad english

[benkissi]

A newbie here. Moving my routes.js to /lib worked for me, but you will have to wrap your code with if(Meteor.isClient){} for your imports to work.

[dmattbergstrom]

Hi!

I didn't find the solution for this problem by anything here, but after 8 hours of hacking, i solved it.

1. Some packages didn't work in production for me, in Meteor 1.8. Check all your non-core packages and try to remove them one by one and see if that fixes the issue.

I removed the following problematic packages:
aldeed:autoform
gwendall:auth-client-callbacks
dsyko-jquery-ui-touch

2. Useraccounts was not included on both server and client. The page using that package was included in my routes.js file, and therefore mucked up all my routes, resulting in this nasty bug.

---

My tip for anyone who needs to figure out their own way of solving this bug:

1. Start commenting out packages in .meteor/packages.json while running your app in the terminal with the production tag activated. That means, run your app with the following command, while removing possibly outdated packages (usually non-standard ones)

"meteor run --production"

2. Keep the app running in production mode. Start commenting out routes in your routes.js file, and see if you can find the route/page that is mucking up all routes and causing this error.

Good luck!

I'm getting this problem on Meteor 1.8, in the most basic setup:

1. I create a new app with meteor create test.
2. I add flow router meteor add kadira:flow-router.
3. I add a routes.js with the following code:

FlowRouter.route('/', {
  name: 'home',
  action(params, queryParams) {
    console.log("Looking?");
  }
});

I start my app with meteor and get this when visiting my app:

There is no route for the path: /

I tried placing routes.js in /client and in /imports/startup/client/. Both result in the same error message.

Am I missing something obvious, or is this a meteor bug?

(I'm running other apps at 1.8, using flow-router, that were upgraded from 1.7x, without a problem.)

Edit:

If I put my routes (what was in routes.js) in main.js, flow-router works.

[chbrandt]

For those fast-forwarding to the end looking for a solution: the solution given by @joaocarloscabral (#608 (comment)) worked like a charm.

As a side note, in my case the issue was happening during development (with meteor run).

Took off the meteor block from package.json:

{
  "name": "app",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "start": "meteor run",
    "test": "meteor test --once --driver-package meteortesting:mocha",
    "test-app": "TEST_WATCH=1 meteor test --full-app --driver-package meteortesting:mocha",
    "visualize": "meteor --production --extra-packages bundle-visualizer"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "@babel/runtime": "^7.4.5",
     "meteor-node-stubs": "^0.4.1"
-  },
-  "meteor": {
-    "mainModule": {
-      "client": "client/main.js",
-      "server": "server/main.js"
-    },
-    "testModule": "tests/main.js"
   }
}

, restarted meteor run and things look good so far.

Try just import your routes file on main/client.js
import ./routes.js

You don't need to remove that:
"meteor": { "mainModule": { "client": "client/main.js", "server": "server/main.js" }, "testModule": "tests/main.js" }

from the package.json

[MastaBaba]

Thanks @rafaeljcadena

I don't have a /main/ folder. Should I create one in the root of my project?

[rafaeljcadena]

Thanks @rafaeljcadena

I don't have a /main/ folder. Should I create one in the root of my project?

Ops, my mistake. I should say:
Try just import your routes file on client/main.js
Like this:

import React from 'react';
import { Meteor } from 'meteor/meteor';
import { render } from 'react-dom';
import App from '/imports/ui/App'
import './routes.js'

Meteor.startup(() => {
render(<App />, document.getElementById('react-target'));
});

It's created by default on Meteor(v1.8). I'm using it with integrated with React.
