Current behavior

We have the following route path:

http://www.test.com/App/12/Customer/Products

where 12 is the contract id of the customer. It’s a valid id.

Once we pass an id, which does not exist, we show the default id, but then we get the following exception, even tho the app still works and is functional:

This happens in app.component.ts when navigating with: this.router.navigate

We do this navigation in the ngOnInit, because we need to retrieve the contractId of the current logged in user via http get and set this id in the router.

Expected behavior

Not to have this error:

In: this.canDeactivateChecks.push(new CanDeactivate(outlet.component, curr));

I also can not identify the origin of the error as it’s not showing in the stack.
