removeWhere and initial conflict

[fabienbranchel]

I have this :

AutoRoute(
  page: FeatureIndex.page,
  path: 'feature-index',
  children: [
    AutoRoute(
      page: FeatureStep1.page,
      path: 'feature-step1',
      initial: true,
    ),
    AutoRoute(
      page: FeatureStep2.page,
      path: 'feature-step2',
    ),
  ],
)

I navigate to FeatureIndex, routing automatically to FeatureStep1 because it's initial route. Then, I navigate to FeatureStep2 from FeatureStep1.

On FeatureStep2, which is a StatefulWidget, I call setState to set a value.

From FeatureStep2, I navigate to FeatureIndex, routing automatically again on FeatureStep1 because it's initial route.

When I call context.router.removeWhere on FeatureStep2 to remove FeatureStep1 before navigate to FeatureIndex, there is these strange side effects :

• dispose of FeatureStep2 is not called
• FeatureStep2 is not removed from stack
• when I navigate again to FeatureStep2 from FeatureStep1, the state is not reset

All these side effects don't exist when removeWhere is not called.
