Meteor infinite redirect instead of render 404

Question

I have a simple iron-router config in my /lib/router.coffee:

Router.configure
  notFoundTemplate: \"notFound\"

Router.map ->
  @route \"app\",
    path:          


        

Answer 1

Try adding a default layoutTemplate in your call to Router.configure(). notFoundTemplate is designed to populate the yield of a main layout template, rather than serve as a replacement layoutTemplate.

Answer 2

What you have is an old iron-router API, in new one my last route looks like this:

Router.route('/(.*)', function() {//regex for every route, must be last
    if (this.ready()) {
        document.title = "404";
        this.render('error');
    } else this.render('loading');
})
