Hi,

Can you please provide more information? I'm afraid this is too less info to provide advice.

Are you sure this is an IE-only issue? Having doubts since the error log comes from the standard sap.ui.core.routing.Router module (src). What is the UI5 version? Could you share your router configuration (manifest.json if it exists)? Is the issue reproducible in an InPrivate browsing window?

A typical reason why an application is not working in IE is because one uses too new Javascript features. Often the IE even doesn't tell you anything about it. Sometimes you'll find a hint like syntax error in the console, sometimes you'll find nothing.

So you have different options here:

1. Transpile your code during the build process. The Usage of the ui5 tooling and a custom transpile task like ui5-task-transpile can help here.
2. You strictly avoid any modern Javascript features. A good source is the MDN.

Best regards,

About the error:

> Routes with dynamic parts cannot be resolved as home route.

It comes from the sap/ui/core/routing/Router module when dynamic parts ({...}) are detected in the "pattern" of the route that is assigned to the "homeRoute". I.e. you must have something like this in the router settings:

"sap.ui5": {
  ...,
  "routing": {
    "config": {
      ...,
      "homeRoute": "myHome"
    },
    "routes": {
      "myHome": {
        "pattern": "mypath/{something}/mysubpath",
        "target": "home"
      }
    },
    ...
  }
}

Solution: As the router doesn't allow any home routes with dynamic patterns, try with one the following options depending on the project...

• Pick a route that has pattern: "" and assign its name to the "homeRoute".
• Keep "homeRoute" as it is, but set an empty string ("") to the pattern of the home route.
• Remove "homeRoute" from the "config" if it's not relevant to the app.
