cannot start second instance of angular app from within app

Question

I have an Angular 11 app that consists of an app and 2 lazy loaded modules. The one module is the user ui, the second lazy loaded module is the admin ui. Now I want to start the admin ui from within the user ui. I thought I would just open a new tab with the url like so:

window.open(location.host+'/index.html#/admin','_blank');

This will open a new tab and put the link in the navigation, but then will stop and throw the error:

Failed to launch 'localhost:4200/index.html#/admin' because the scheme does not have a registered handler.

If I then reload this new window, the app will start correctly. I have also tried:

this.router.navigate([]).then(window.open(url, '_blank'));

with the same result.

Is there a limitation to start another instance of an angular app from within an angular app?

Answer 1

I was missing the location.protocol in the link.....as sugested by misha130
