I am using `@aurelia/router` instead of `router-lite` and would like to redirect a user to the “home page” if a certain condition is met.

`main.js`

```auto
import { RouterConfiguration } from '@aurelia/router'

Aurelia
  .register(RouterConfiguration.customize({
    useDirectRouting: false,
    useUrlFragmentHash: true,
    useHref: false
  }))

```

Im `my-app.js` I specify the routes.

```auto
import { IRouter, routes } from '@aurelia/router'

@routes( [
  { path: '', redirectTo: 'step-01' },

  { id: 'step-01', path: 'step-01', component: import('...')},
  { id: 'step-02', path: 'step-02', component: import('...') }
])

```

In `step-02.js` I am using the `canLoad` hook.

```auto
canLoad() {
    if (something) {
      return 'step-01'
    } else {
      return true
    }
  }

```

This gives an error:

Uncaught (in promise) Error: `'step-01'` did not match any configured route or registered component name - did you forget to add the component ‘step-01’ to the dependencies or to register it as a global dependency?

What am I doing wrong?

Is `step-01` a root path? What happens if you specify `/step-01`?

Should be. Still get the same error:

```auto
Error: '/step-01' did not match any configured route or registered component name

```

```auto
Error: '#/step-01' did not match any configured route or registered component name

```

I am having the exact same problem. As a part of upgrading to alpha v33, I tried to switch from router-lite to @aurelia/router, but had to undo for the moment. Did you get any progress regarding this since last message?

No, unfortunately not.

Hey @Ivan. Did you have any progress on this? If not, I somewhat had progress with this issue and might be able to help.

I took a different approach. Please do share, curios to see your solution.

This should work in the latest version of the router. You can now direct by providing a route name amongst other values.

In my case, it was not working as in yours. So I reverted the upgrade and later upgraded to alpha41. The there, I fixed the problem by making sure all imports are coming from the same library. There was a mix up between used libraries basically. But also @dwaynecharrington points out that it should be working in the latest version anyway. So now, I am not as sure as I was when I prompted you that I might have a solution, whether if it was the inconsistent imports, a generic problem in the framework that got fixed in later alpha versions, or both 😃

I’m sorry 😅
