Weird behavior with content-less routes

[espoal]

Hello everybody!

Great package!

I noticed a weird behavior. I have a content-less route:

FlowRouter.route('/', {
    name: 'home',
    action: function() {
        BlazeLayout.render('mainLayout');
    }
});

Anyhow when I try

FlowRouter.go('home');

It returns errors about content being null unless I edit my original route:

        BlazeLayout.render('mainLayout', {content: ''});

I blame this on javascript for being so forgiving in the data it let pass through. Damn I never thought I would miss strong typed languages.

Can I get the full error?
Better if I could see a sample repo with this case.

Hello Professor Arunoda!

I didn't thought you would have replied to me in person or I would have written a better report. Thank you again for your effort.

So if in chrome console I type:

FlowRouter.go('home')
undefined

If I put it inside some helper it happens this:

Exception from Tracker recompute function:
debug.js:41 TypeError: Cannot read property 'content' of undefined

Here's the repo:

https://github.com/servermeta/Motter

it's very possible that some other package is creating issues? Unfortunately I don't have time right now to check, if you want I can dig deeper in the weekend.

Okay. got it.
It was an issue with BlazeLayout. Update it to the latest version (2.0.1) and this problem should be gone.
