Iron Router route not available in 'pathFor'

help

Howdy howdy howdy,

I’m trying to include a link to a dynamic route in a post, referencing it via ‘pathFor’, but when the page is rendered the carries no ‘href’. Here’s my code:

Router:

Router.route("/category/:category", function() {
this.render("categoryList", {
	waitOn: function() {
		return Meteor.subscribe("posts");
	},
	data: function() {
		console.log('category data function running!');
		return { 
			category: Posts.find({category: this.params.category})
		}
	}
});
}, {
name: 'categoryList'
});

Template:

<a href="{{ pathFor 'categoryList' }}">{{post.category}}</a></p>

Also, possibly relevant, this Router for a ‘post’:

Router.route("/:permalink", function(){
this.render("post", {
	waitOn: function() {
		return [
			Meteor.subscribe("posts", this.params.permalink),
			Meteor.subscribe("postComments", this.params.permalink)
		]
	},
	data: function() {
		thisPost = Posts.findOne({permalink: this.params.permalink});
		cpId = thisPost ? thisPost._id : null;
		Session.set("currentPostId", cpId);
		console.log('post function running!');
		return {
			post: thisPost,
			comments: thisPost ? Comments.find({postId: thisPost._id, commentStatus: 'published'}) : null
		}
	}
});
}, {
	name: 'post'
});

You’ll notice I’m having to use a ternary operator in the post’s data function for the comments object. No clue why, but I get an error if I don’t.

Would appreciate someone more experienced taking a look. Thanks!

I’m having a similar issue. Did you ever find a fix?
