EmptyError: no elements in sequence

Question

I'm upgrading my Angular2 app from 2.0.0 to 2.3.0, and I'm running into the following error. Any ideas as to why? I saw this other post (Angular 2.0.1 Router EmptyError: no elements in sequence), but after trying this, the issue still remains. What causes this error?

I've also noticed that a NavigationError object is thrown when I try to change to a route that uses Guards. But only the error above is what is shown in the console.

NavigationError {id: 2, url: "/home", error: EmptyError}

I'm kind of at a loss and would appreciate any help.

This error happens when using RxJS 5.5.3 with angular (version 4/5), so just skip RxJS 5.5.3, and use RxJS 5.5.4 by adding "rxjs": "^5.5.4" to your project package.json.

Before RxJS 5.5.4 came out answer: (old, don't do this)

• Lock version 5.5.2 RxJS on package.json source
• add pathMatch: 'full' on empty paths source

It looks like this is an RxJS issue which should be patched pretty soon. source
