There're 2 modules both have routes defined. Module 2 imports module 1 in order to use a component from it. You can never navigate to Module 2. Module 1 loads instead.
Module 1 routing:
const routes: Routes = [
{ path: '', component: Module1Component }
];
Module 2 routing:
const routes: Routes = [
{ path: '', component: Module2Component }
];
App routing:
const routes: Routes = [
{ path: 'module1', loadChildren: 'app/module1/module1.module#Module1Module' },
{ path: 'module2', loadChildren: 'app/module2/module2.module#Module2Module' }
];
Thank you.
Two issues to get this working. First, there is a bug with the router that takes in account the order of your imported modules. For more details on the error, see this bug report: https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/12648
So to get around the bug, you need to change the order of your imports in module2.module.ts so that your module2 routing file is imported before you import module1.
@NgModule({
imports: [
routing, // this order is important
Module1Module
],
declarations: [
Module2Component
]
})
Second, instead of exporting your routing module as a const using ModuleWithProviders export it as a class. aka change the module2 routing file (module2.routing.ts) to export a class like so (you'll need to import NgModule):
@NgModule({
imports: [RouterModule.forChild(routes)],
exports: [RouterModule]
})
export class routing {
}
This should fix it for you. Here's a working plunker: https://plnkr.co/edit/5impstull9EBCUxlw26k
