FlowRouter.go("/") doesn't change url

[copleykj]

If application is on a route such as /posts and you use FlowRouter.go("/") to navigate to the root of your application, the page for root renders correctly but the URL in the location bar never changes.

Seems like an issue with how you use FlowLayout. You must share some sample code, otherwise we can't see what's going on there.

Very sorry for this.. I'm not sure exactly why this happened but I created a reproduction which seemed to work flawlessly. I then removed parts of the non working app bit by bit till it matched the working reproduction exactly. At that point it still didn't work so I deleted the .meteor directory from the non working app and copied the one from the working app and then it worked perfectly.. UGH! Oh well I guess I'll chock this one up to a strange glitch.

So apparently when I used meteorpad to reproduce this issue it was using older versions of flow-router and flow-layout. Not realizing this I thought that the issue was resolved by moving the .meteor directory but that was just a symptom of the dependencies being downgraded to the versions the reproduction was using.

I've created a reproduction of the issue here: https://github.com/copleykj/FlowRouterReproduction. In the reproduction it has 3 templates each with a link that when clicked calls FlowRouter.go() to move the the subsequent template. first click moves from template1 to template2 and you see /template2 in the url, second click moves from template2 to template3 and you see /template3 in the path. Third click moves back to template1 which is located at the root but the path stays at /template3 instead of /

Yep it is a bug and we already fixed it.
See: #147

Try to update flow-router to the latest version.
Thanks for the reproduction :)
