EmptyError: no elements in sequence
<p>I'm upgrading my Angular2 app from 2.0.0 to 2.3.0, and I'm running into the following error.  Any ideas as to why?  I saw this other post (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39734085/angular-2-0-1-router-emptyerror-no-elements-in-sequence">Angular 2.0.1 Router EmptyError: no elements in sequence</a>), but after trying this, the issue still remains.  What causes this error?</p>

<p>I've also noticed that a NavigationError object is thrown when I try to change to a route that uses Guards.  But only the error above is what is shown in the console.  </p>

<p><code>NavigationError {id: 2, url: "/home", error: EmptyError}</code></p>

<p>I'm kind of at a loss and would appreciate any help.</p>
