IssueTracker

Oh I forgot to mention that I thought it might be connected to this issue: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/243778589. But after trying 2.5.2 I can say that the issue persists.

Please provide a minimal sample project along with the minimal steps to recreate the issue in the project.

Sorry for the delay. I got a working example here: https://github.com/Del-S/issues. The project is set up to crash when navigating to ThirdFragment (nested nav graph) with poping the graph.

I poked into it a little bit and it seems to be connected to SafeArgs gradle plugin. When safe args is used to navigate to ThirdFragment (with nested graph poped) it will try to recreate te parent but there were no arguments passed so it crashes.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Navigate from Second Fragment to Child nav graph (with non-nullable parameters).
2. Navigate to Third fragment using SafeArgs and the app crashes.

Note: If in step 2 SaveArgs is not used then navigation works correctly. More information is here: https://github.com/Del-S/issues/blob/master/app/src/main/java/cz/dels/issues/SecondFragment.kt#L37.

Ups a typo: Navigate from Second First Fragment to Child nav graph (with non-nullable parameters).

Note: sorry for the spam but I am not able to edit my own comment.

This has been fixed and will be available in navigation 2.6.0-alpha08

The following release(s) address this bug.It is possible this bug has only been partially addressed:

• androidx.navigation:navigation-runtime:2.6.0-alpha08

We've completed the merge of Navigation Compose specific concepts like routes into the core classes of Navigation (i.e., NavDestination, NavController, etc.). As such, many of the APIs that used to be extension methods are now methods on the classes themselves. This means that a number of imports previously needed can be removed:

import androidx.navigation.compose.navigation
import androidx.navigation.compose.createGraph
import androidx.navigation.compose.getBackStackEntry
import androidx.navigation.compose.navigate
import androidx.navigation.compose.popUpTo

And the KEY_ROUTE can now be accessed simply by calling destination.route.

With these changes, Navigation Compose will join the same versioning scheme as the rest of Navigation and be moved to version 2.4.0-alpha01 for the next version.
