React router 4 does not update view on link, but does on refresh

Question

I am using the following simple nav code

Answer 1

This is because react-redux connect method implements shouldComponentUpdate which will cause component not to render when props didn't change. And this is conflicting now with react-router 4.

To avoid it you can pass {pure: false} to connect as described in react-redux troubleshooting section.

Another way is to use withRouter HOC or pass location prop like described in DOCS.
