Breadcrumbs prop is never updated

getBreadcrumbs is never fired again after first rendering. Current usage:

const routes = […]

class Breadcrumbs extends Component {
    componentWillReceiveProps({breadcrumbs}) {
        // never reached
        console.log(breadcrumbs);
    }

    render() {…}
}

export default withBreadcrumbs(routes)(Breadcrumbs);

Setup:

• react@15.6.2
• react-router@4.2.0
• react-router-dom@4.2.2
• react-router-breadcrumbs-hoc@1.1.1

Need more details or a playground link?

Hi @icd2k3 , Thank you so much for taking care of testing. Answers:

• Sadly, at this moment, we’re locked with 15 due to work needed to upgrade other libraries
• None, otherwise I would have reported them here
• Excellent assumption: I will verify that and get back to you soon

I have tried to use withRouter in combination with withBreadcrumb, in various order and with different configurations. I have even made the attempt to decorate it with redux connect, in hope that that would feed in new props from store upon location change, thus somehow driving the component to re-render. In the end, nothing worked. Anyways, expect updates with results of my investigations.

@icd2k3 Good like that, unfortunately we paused the upgrade of react router that involves switching to this new breadcrumbs component until further requirements are provided. Still, I wish someone else would encounter this and be up to move discussion forward.
