Metoer.js: iron-router Router.route() not working

I'm using Meteor.js and iron-router for the first time, and so far everything is going well, except for iron-router. I call this code at the beginning of my js file. 

Router.route('/find_tutors', function () {
   this.render('content_find_tutors');
});

Really simple, nothing interesting whatsoever going on here, the problem is it just doesn't work. I get this error if I navigate to the URL http://foobar.bar/find_tutors 

Exception in defer callback: Error: Oh no! No route found for path: "/find_tutors"

I feel like something obvious is off but honestly this code is just so simple I don't see why I can't get it to work. Am I wrong in saying that it should just render that template if it reaches that route? Though I suppose it doesn't even matter whats in the route() function block, because iron router never even gets there.

Here is the smallest set of code I can give to recreate the error (though the error happens regardless of the size of the code.)

//test.js
Router.route('/find_tutors', function () {
  this.render('page');
});
if (Meteor.isClient) {
}

if (Meteor.isServer) {
  Meteor.startup(function () {
    // code to run on server at startup
  });
}

<!--- test.html --->
<head>
  <title>Test</title>
</head>

<body>
</body>

<template name="page">
  <h1>Welp.</h1>
</template>

This example is hosted at cvoege.meteor.com

Am I an idiot or is there something deep going on?

iron:router changed some of its api in 1.0.0 version (still in 1.0.0-pre4 at this moment).

And it seems that you are using iron:router in the 1.0.0 way but not the current (0.9.4) one.

You can update your iron:router to 1.0.0-pre4 by

meteor update iron:[email protected]

Update

It seems that I misuse the update function. Please remove and then re-install it instead.

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