this.props.navigation.navigate() doesn't work (using WithNavigation)

Question

I have implemented a pop-up component in a header with More Options button. This button is available only on the UserProfileScreen. When you press on it you see two buttons: 'Settings' and 'Log out'. The issue is related to Settings button.

Expected behavior: Press on Settings button -> this.props.navigation.navigate('SettingsNavigator') is called -> SettingsScreen is shown

Actual behavior: Press on Settings button -> console.warn('go to settings') is called and nothing more (you are not redirected to SettingsScreen).

SettingsNavigator.js

import React from 'react';
import { createStackNavigator } from 'react-navigation';

import SettingsScreen from './SettingsScreen';
import EditProfileScreen from './EditProfileScreen';
import RemoveProfileScreen from './RemoveProfileScreen';

const SettingsNavigator = createStackNavigator({
    SettingsScreen: SettingsScreen,
    EditProfile: EditProfileScreen,
    RemoveProfile: RemoveProfileScreen
}, {
    initialRouteName: 'SettingsScreen'
});

export default SettingsNavigator;

optionHeaderButton.js

import { withNavigation } from 'react-navigation';
...

class OptionsHeaderButton extends Component {

    ...

    navigateToSettings = () => {
        console.warn('go to settings')
        this.props.navigation.navigate('SettingsNavigator');
    }

    render() {
    return(
        <Menu onSelect = {value => {
            switch(value) {
                case 'Settings':
                    this.navigateToSettings();
                    break;
                case 'Logout':
                    this.onLogOutPress();
                    break;
            }
        }}>

            <MenuTrigger>
                <Icon name = 'dots-vertical' size = {24} color = {text}/>
            </MenuTrigger>

            <MenuOptions style = {optionsHeaderButtonStyle.menuWrapper}>

                <MenuOption value = {'Settings'}>
                    <View style = {optionsHeaderButtonStyle.optionWrapper}>
                        <View style = {optionsHeaderButtonStyle.optionIcon}>
                            <IconSimpleLine name = 'settings' size = {12} color = {text}/>
                        </View>
                        <Text style = {[optionsHeaderButtonStyle.option, optionsHeaderButtonStyle.lastOption]}>
                            Settings
                        </Text>
                    </View>
                </MenuOption>

                <MenuOption value = {'Logout'}>
                    <View style = {optionsHeaderButtonStyle.optionWrapper}>
                        <View style = {optionsHeaderButtonStyle.optionIcon}>
                            <IconSimpleLine name = 'logout' size = {12} color = {text}/>
                        </View>
                        <Text style = {[optionsHeaderButtonStyle.option, optionsHeaderButtonStyle.lastOption]}>
                            Logout
                        </Text>
                    </View>
                </MenuOption>

            </MenuOptions>

        </Menu>
    )
}
}

export default withNavigation(OptionsHeaderButton);

OptionsHeaderButton is nested to a Header Component that is nested in UserProfile Component.

As far as I know using withNavigation() I can call navigation.navigate() from any component. So why doesn't it work?

UPDATE:

After investigation I found that this issue is related to a bug of React Navigation that was found on April of 2017. It means that you can use navigation.navigate() only inside one Stack. But I can't find any info about fix of this bug.

Answer 1

you need to pass screen name instead of navigator.

this.props.navigation.navigate('SettingsSecreen');
