iron router - Using Meteor, useraccounts-core ensureSignedIn plugin won't except '/' route -

i trying use ensuresignedin plugin on routes except front 'home' page has buttons login separate parts of site.

here's route 'home':

router.route('/', function () {   this.render('home'); }); 

here's line plugin , exceptions:

router.plugin('ensuresignedin', {   except: ['home', 'atsignin', 'atsignup', 'atforgotpassword'] }); 

both snippets lib/routes.js file, if makes difference. i've tried adding different route names in except: portion, , correctly excepted, can't life of me 'home' route not show "must logged in".

i've googled , read through github issues , haven't seen else problem, it's i'm doing wrong , not bug useraccounts or iron-router.

set name of / route root, add route name ensuresignedin settings:

router.route('/', {     name: 'root',     template: 'home',     action: function() {         this.render();     } });  router.plugin('ensuresignedin', {   except: ['root', 'atsignin', 'atsignup', 'atforgotpassword', 'atresetpwd'] });
