Current behavior

I do have a lazy loaded module which loads by default LazyLoadedComponent when I go to /lazy. So far, it's OK.

This component contains 2 router-outlet :

<router-outlet></router-outlet>
<router-outlet name="aux"></router-outlet>

And the LazyLoadedModule has the following routes :

const routes = [
  {
      path: '',
      component: LazyLoadedComponent,
      children: [
          {
              path: '',
              component: NonAuxComponent
          },
          {
              path: '',
              component: AuxComponent,
              outlet: 'aux'
          }
      ]
  }
];

When I go to /lazy I do have the 3 components loaded as expected.
But, if I want to change the path to display the AuxComponent like that :

{
   path: 'auxpath',
   component: AuxComponent,
   outlet: 'aux'
}

And I try to go to /lazy(aux:auxpath) it's not working.

I also tried to hit that URL using the routerLink like that :

<a [routerLink]="[{ outlets: { aux: 'auxpath' } }]">Load an auxiliary route</a>

But it's not working either.

Is this a bug with the router ? Is it just me missing out something here?

You can check out this Plunkr to make your own tests.

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions
Plunkr :

• Click on "Demo (click to lazy load the module)"
• Once the module is loaded, click on "Load an auxiliary route"
• The non auxiliary component is well displayed, the auxiliary component is not displayed

Please tell us about your environment:

Ubuntu 16.10
VSC
Yarn
