Hi all,
i have a problem with Aurelia.setRoot(PLATFORM.modulename(etc)).
In the first change of aurelia root it works.
When I want return to the other root:
it doesn’t work. I have to press 2 times the button and if it change view the view isn’t loaded.
‘attached()’ event is not called… anyone know the problem ?

I found a help in internet:
If I call:
" this.\_router.reset(); " it seems working but at the first time of the root’s change I have to press the button 2 times… in the others times it works always at the first click.

Problems also with “router.reset()”.
It reset all routers so I can’t change view.
Any help?!

You need a stack trace or some more information from your console.
You probably are setting the root without configuring a route or a route redirect.

Hi davismj,
I’m trying everything possible:
What do you suggest?
I try “location.reload()” / “router.reset()” / change positions of the calls… but nothing.
Only the first setRoot works, than the site continue without a router configured.

> What do you suggest?
The first thing you should always do when looking for help is to create a reproduction using gist.run, etc. I did this for you: [GistRun](https://gist.run/?id=9975a6d7b351c1671c3c1bdfab34ed2c)
As you can see from the example above, I am able to switch back and forth between roots A and B and routes One and Two without issue. That tells me that the issue might be in your code specifically.
In the example above, when you switch from A to B, you’re either at #/one or #/two, which are both configured on both roots A and B. Chances are you are switching from root A route #/two to root B where route #/two is not configured.
Try adding `config.mapUnknownRoutes('one')` to your `configureRouter()` function, to whichever route is your “home” route in that root.
If that doesn’t work, I recommend that you (a) modify the gist.run above to demonstrate what the issue is and / or (b) reach out to [Aurelia support](https://aurelia.io/contact), who will get on a call with you and work with you to solve your particular issue quickly.

Thank you a lot man.
But I have to say that I already changed the configuration of treeviews …
Now I have only one “big” (about 12-15 views to route) route where I do routing.
For the moment I’m ok.
Next time I will retry to use 2 different routes.
Thank you again,
Andrea
