Navigator always start with route '/'
This caught me out, too. If you look at the documentation for the initialRoute
property:
If the route contains slashes, then it is treated as a "deep link", and before this route is pushed, the routes leading to this one are pushed also. For example, if the route was /a/b/c, then the app would start with the three routes /a, /a/b, and /a/b/c loaded, in that order.
What the example fails to explain is that /
is also pushed. So if your initialRoute
is /home
then it first pushes /
, then it pushes /home
.
The (thankfully very simple) fix is to use routes that don't start with /
, so in your case, just home
:)
