Fragment XXX {} not associated with a fragment manager

Question

I started using navigation component in my application and I am facing with the following problem. My first fragment is LoginFragment. After a success login, the mainFragment is displayed. I want that when user is on mainFragment and press back button to not go back to loginFragment. For this I added these 2 lines in nav_graph : app:popUpTo="@+id/lovable_app_navigation" and app:popUpToInclusive="true" and it works well. Here is my navigation graph :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<navigation xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
  xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
  android:id="@+id/app_navigation"
  app:startDestination="@id/loginFragment">

  <fragment
    android:id="@+id/loginFragment"
    android:name="com.xxx.LoginFragment"
    android:label="LoginFragment"
    tools:layout="@layout/login_fragment">
    <action
      android:id="@+id/dashboard_action"
      app:destination="@id/mainFragment"
      app:launchSingleTop="true"
      app:popUpTo="@+id/app_navigation"
      app:popUpToInclusive="true"/>
  </fragment>

  <fragment
    android:id="@+id/mainFragment"
    android:name="com.xxx.MainFragment"
    android:label="MainFragment"
    tools:layout="@layout/main_fragment">
       <action
      android:id="@+id/logout_action"
      app:destination="@id/loginFragment"
      app:launchSingleTop="true"
      app:popUpTo="@+id/app_navigation"
      app:popUpToInclusive="true"/>
  </fragment>

  <action
    android:id="@+id/action_global_loginFragment"
    app:destination="@id/loginFragment" />
</navigation>

The problem is that after a time, when my session expires, it doesn't matter where the user is in application, in which fragment, I must to display the LoginFragment over the all stack. I created a global action for this action_global_loginFragment. The problem is that when I navigate to LoginFragment I get this error :

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Fragment LoginFragment{1d6bd24 (829a6832-3480-4bcb-a3f6-7e2ba214d3ca)} not associated with a fragment manager.

If I remove popUpTo and popUpToInclusive it works fine, but then the back button functionality is affected, from mainFragment it goes back to loginFragment. Any idea how to fixed this? Thanks in advance.

The same issue was happening to me, I managed to solve it by wrapping the navigate method inside a view?.post call like so:

view?.post {
    findNavController().navigate(SplashFragmentDirections.actionSplashFragmentToLoginFragment())
}
