Wild card routing for some specific URL not working

[shubham2924]

Which @angular/* package(s) are the source of the bug?

router

Is this a regression?

Yes

Description

This issue is intended for a special route edge case, citing official documentation for the same.

So I've developed an app with angular and used inbuilt routing provided by angular. Let me narrate the scenario:
There are various routes in the application in which wild card routing is added at the very end to show desired not-found component page. So URLs are like

https://mysite/api/books
https://mysite/api/users
etc...

so if there is an invalid URLs such as https://mysite/api/87*hfaabooks, then not-found component shown correctly as I've added { path: '**', component: <not-found-component>, pathMatch: 'full' } in the array of routes in appRoutingModule. But when an URL is like https://mysite/65%^dfhapi/books , we can observe invalid characters aren't added in the very last route instead with api word in the URL, so in this case it is redirecting to home page but as the URL is still invalid I want user to navigate to not-found-component.

Would like to if I'm missing anything, thanks in advance.

Isn't your problem that a parent router doesn't match the /api/ part of the route thus not triggering the last router where ** is defined ?

Could you provide a stackblitz demo reproducing your problem ?

Hey @JeanMeche thanks for reverting back.
This routing is small part of a huge project.

Yes, main intention is anything after Top level domain(e,g .com/) if there is a discrepancy in a URL at any point I want user to redirect to my not-found-component.
e.g https://github.com/angular/87y8954#@$angular/issues/49034
here if you hit the above URL in browser github shows you a not-found page, this is something I want to achieve but so far docs I've read they only cover part written along with let's say /49034 part
Thanks !
