Aurelia -- Route Change on Form Submission Issue - aurelia

Question

Aurelia newbie here and I have hit a wall.
So, this code works just fine and the route change happens, but it only happens after the Submit button on the home.html file is clicked TWICE. On the first Submit button click, I get the following error: ERROR [app-router] Error: Route not found: /anonymous-wow-armory-profile/.
My question is why does it work after two form submissions, but not the first one? I know I am missing something in the process here.

What am I missing here?
Thanks for your help!

Please, provide your router configuration
Anyway I see some issues already. You try to navigate when this.data is not set, just wait for response:
this.http.post('/armory', JSON.stringify(this.postData)).then(response => {
this.data = response.content;
this.code = response.statusCode.toString();
this.loading = false;
this.maRouter.navigateToRoute('armory', {id: this.data});
});
and we do activate page only if this.getArmoryData() succeed here (if needed), also canActivate() maybe used too
activate(params, routeConfig) {
this.profileId = params.id;
return this.getArmoryData();
}
also would be better to set this.loading = true;, inside armory .activate() and in home.js in submit() before sending data
