Active route after `transition.retry()`

[dguettler]

I'm storing a Transition in order to return to that route at a later point.

Expected

transition.retry() should returns me to this route and set correct state.

Current observed behavior

After calling transition.retry() from an action on another route I am returned to the route, the URL changes however the wrong links have the active class

Version

Ember 1.12+ ... alpha

@alexspeller thanks for taking a look

Probably related to #10557, #13164

active link classes get properly restored if I call

this.router.set('targetState.routerJsState', transition.state)

before calling transition.retry()

I'm running into the same issue on the latest ember (2.14.x) - the workaround described by @dguettler doesn't seem to work for me. Still experimenting and trying to reproduce a twiddle.

In our case, we have a mixin that does a transition.abort() followed by a transition.retry() 50ms later in the willTransition hook of a route. (this is so we can nicely render a loading animation before the transition for a more seamless experience and avoid UX lockup).

The active state on link-to when switching between a route, just changing the positional parameter for model_id, fails every time (all links with the route, even with different model_ids, gain the active class).

I confirmed that removing the mixin fixes the problem, but am looking for a workaround to force ember to recompute the link-to active states, even if it's a hack for now

EDIT: Here's a twiddle reproducing my issue, along with a workaround

I am also seeing this behavior on a EULA acceptance route I configured in ember. The redirect itself works fine, but the link active states are incorrectly displaying to the user.

Still happens with ember-3.8.0

Still a problem in 5.5.0.
