angular rc1: EXCEPTION: Error: Uncaught (in promise): Cannot find default outlet

Question

I really should paste source-code here, but I do not know which part of those 300 lines in my component I should show you.

Maybe the error-message "EXCEPTION: Error: Uncaught (in promise): Cannot find default outlet" has a general solution to it? Am I missing some parameter or tag?

Answer 1

• add the <router-outlet> where the router expects it ;-)
• ensure you don't provide ROUTER_PROVIDERS more than once in your application (either only at the root component or only in bootstrap())
• don't add *ngIf* to the <router-outlet> or to a parent of <router-outlet>

Answer 2

I found it:

The component hosting the subcomponent needs to declare

directives: [ROUTER_DIRECTIVES],

otherwise the is not recognized, as it seems.
