Error when using iron:router with Meteor 0.9.3.1

I am experimenting with Meteor and iron:router. I git cloned the examples from https://github.com/EventedMind/iron-router.git. I then cd-ed into samples/basic, and ran meteor update and meteor. My meteor version is 0.9.3.1

When I navigated to the website an error is displayed in console and the page is empty. The error is as below:

Exception from Tracker recompute function: Error: Couldn't find a template named "/" or "". Are you sure you defined it?
at null._render (http://localhost:3000/packages/iron_dynamic-template.js?32038885cb1dad7957291ffebfffcb7f8cd57d20:239:17)

Can someone kindly advise what I am doing incorrectly?

Thanks in advance.

The reason you have this issue is there is a discrepancy between the [email protected] (like a Beta for 1.0) and the currently in use 0.9.x version of iron router.

The old notation for defining a route for http://localhost:3000/route, for the template route would be as follows:

Router.route("route", { path : '/' });

However in the new version, which is currently on github on devel (which I presume the examples are based on is as follows):

Router.route("/", function() {
    this.render("route");
});

The problem is using the notation on the bottom would lead to the error Couldn't find a template named "/" since the first param of the Route.route is now a path instead of a template.

The way to fix this is to either use the pre-release version of iron router (the version string can be found in the package.js file on github):

meteor remove iron:router
meteor add iron:[email protected]

Or to use the old notation by looking at an example bundled with a release on github instead of the devel branch like this one: https://github.com/EventedMind/iron-router/tree/v0.9.2-rc0
