Fix routing for substacks

root_controller.js.coffee

class App.Root extends Spine.Stack
  controllers:
    feeds:  App.Feeds

  routes:
    '/feeds' : 'feeds'

  className: 'stack root'

  constructor: ->
    super

    destination = window.location.hash[1..]

    if destination.length <= 1
      # This should be your default route
      destination = '/feeds'
    activate_hash = {
      history: false
      match: [destination]
      shim: false
      trigger: true
    }
    # Hack to reset navigation by going to another route
    # and then navigating where we need to go!
    Spine.Route.navigate('/', true)
    Spine.Route.navigate(destination, true)
    @activate(activate_hash)

I can't reproduce your problem with my code.
Are you calling Spine.Route.setup() before navigating? (see the docs )

You know, I never thought about this. I AM calling Spine.Route.setup(), but I was doing it before I initialized the root controller. I just moved it so that this is called after initializing the root controller and everything works magically (without this ugly hack).

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.

Thanks for making me realize this ;)
