Router Service transitionTo breaks with Query Params on nested transition

[jtescher]

Calling transitionTo on a service in the context of an existing transition causes an assertion error to be thrown.

Example Twiddle here

Minimal logic from the reproduction above is: index route's beforeModel calls the auth service's ensureSignedIn method which uses the router's transitionTo method and includes a query param.

Calling it results in:

Assertion Failed: You passed the `login:security_key` query parameter during a transition into login, please update to security_key

I have a similar error when trying to make transitionTo() into model(){}

this.get('router').transitionTo('tutor', tutorId, {queryParams: {anchor: 'user-balance'}});
Assertion Failed: You passed the tutor.index:anchor query parameter during a transition into tutor.index, please update to anchor

I'm also seeing the problem.

• I have a reports and a reports.report child route
• reports.report controller has queryParams: ['startDate', 'endDate']
• reports route's setupController calls:

this.get('router').transitionTo('reports.report', report_id, {
  queryParams: {
    startDate: startDate.format('DD-MM-YYYY'),
    endDate: endDate.format('DD-MM-YYYY')
  }
});

• results in the error on ember inspector's promises tab:

Error: Assertion Failed: You passed the `undefined:startDate` query parameter during a transition into reports.report, please update to startDate

I was able to track the problem up to this point:

Was able to reproduce this on ember 3.3.2, 3.4.8, 3.5.1, 3.6.1 and 3.7.
It was working with 2.18.2.

Weird thing is that it works with the router's this.transitionTo. Just doesn't work with the router service.

This is still an issue with Ember 3.8.2

I ran into this issue as well - good to know that it is scoped just to the router service.

ember-source 3.8.1 + ember-simple-auth >= 1.9.0

Problem occurs with an unauthenticated redirect (AuthenticatedRouteMixin#triggerAuthentication()) into a query-parameterized route.

ember-source 3.12.0 throws an error as in #14875 (comment)
but seemingliy whithout affecting application functionality

[kategengler]

Hit this today, ember-source 3.13.4

I was thinking that this is fixed in 3.14 by #18244, anyone have a minute to try to confirm / deny?

We were able to temporarily fix this using RouterService#urlFor method:

Controller.extend({
  router: service(),

  actions: {
    moveUser() {
      // before:
      this.get('router').transitionTo(routeName, routeParamOne, routeParamTwo);

      // after:
      this.customTransition(routeName, routeParamOne, routeParamTwo);
    }
  },

  customTransition(...params) {
    const url = this.get('router').urlFor(...params); // build url first

    this.get('router').transitionTo(url); // and make transition

    // And if you need to preserve query params, I guess you can use `window.location.search` and add this to url like:
    this.get('router').transitionTo(url + window.location.search);
  }
})

Feels like a hack, but works like a charm. Good enough for me until version update

In case it's helpful, here's a really minimal repro in a twiddle.

[Jbcampbe]

I am seeing this issue in ember-source@3.16.7

[linearza]

Ran into this just now as well. Have seen it intermittently previously. The ESA link seems likely

[sly7-7]

Hi all, I've taken @bendemboski twiddle, and created a repository to see what happen against 3.25.1. Unless I'm missing something it seems like this issue is resolved.

This would be great if someone could double check. https://github.com/sly7-7/repro-ember-17494

@jtescher Obviously, if you had a chance to update your app and see how it goes, it would be an super feedback :)
I've also reported your original twiddle here: https://github.com/sly7-7/repro-ember-17494/tree/from-original-twiddle

The bug is still present in ember version 3.28 and 4.3.

When I use the transitionTo from the router service to nested routes, it still updates the parent for the destination route. For example, if I transition from the current parent/child-a route by triggering this.router.transitionTo('parent.child-b'), the parent route's model hook will continue to be executed regardless of whether the transition is between child routes. This happens only if the parent route has query parameters.

The workaround from @kbiedrzycki (#17494 (comment)) still works on version 3.28 and 4.3.

[RobbieTheWagner]

We're hitting an issue, which I think may be related to this bug. Query params always show up on the child route, even though we are not setting values for them, so the defaults should be hidden.

[kategengler]

@RobbieTheWagner Have you seen #19492 and #19493 ?

[RobbieTheWagner]

Thanks @kategengler!
