Why my navigate is not working

I’m migrating source code from ionic3 to ionic4.
I want to set the first page as the login.page in my new ionic4 app.
So, I wrote router.navigateByUrl in my app.component.ts.
But It’s not working.
I wrote console.log in the constructor and ionViewWillEnter of login.page.ts,
but it does not seem to be called.
Please Help me.

app.component.ts

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    templateUrl: 'app.component.html',
    providers: [CustomNativeStorage, PointsService]
})

export class MyApp {
.
.
this.router.navigateByUrl('/login');
.

app.componet.html

<ion-app>
  <ion-router-outlet></ion-router-outlet>
</ion-app>

app-routing.module.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { PreloadAllModules, RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';

const routes: Routes = [
  { path: '', redirectTo: 'home', pathMatch: 'full' },
  { path: 'home', loadChildren: () => import('./home/home.module').then( m => m.HomePageModule)},
  {
    path: 'tabs',
    loadChildren: () => import('./tabs/tabs.module').then( m => m.TabsPageModule)
  },
  {
    path: 'login',
    loadChildren: () => import('./login/login.module').then( m => m.LoginPageModule)
  },

login.module.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { IonicModule } from '@ionic/angular';
import { LoginPageRoutingModule } from './login-routing.module';
import { LoginPage } from './login.page';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    CommonModule,
    FormsModule,
    IonicModule,
    LoginPageRoutingModule
  ],
  declarations: [LoginPage]
})
export class LoginPageModule {}

login-routing.module.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { Routes, RouterModule } from '@angular/router';
import { LoginPage } from './login.page';
const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: '',
    component: LoginPage
  }
];
@NgModule({
  imports: [RouterModule.forChild(routes)],
  exports: [RouterModule],
})
export class LoginPageRoutingModule {}

The blank path in app-routing.module.ts refers to the staring page for the app.
Now it is set to the home you should change it to login to load login page at the start.

{ path: ‘’, redirectTo: ‘login’, pathMatch: ‘full’ },

It’s not work.
I wrote console.log in the constructor and ionViewWillEnter of login.page.ts, but it does not seem to be called.

When I change app-routing.module.ts’s

loadChildren: () => import('./login/login.module').then( m => m.LoginPageModule)
to
component: LoginPage

It works. But I don’t know why.

No updates? I have a very similar problem, the page change animation will start and then revert back to the previous page, even though the URL has been updated. If i reload the page with a given URL the correct page is shown, i just can’t manage to switch between pages with the router.

StackOverflow question about the same issue, with no solution: routes - Ionic 4 routing not working the url changes but view doesnt appear - Stack Overflow

Solution update: in my case the solution was completelly unrelated, components weren’t able to load properly because i commented out a line in global.scss, more info in the following thread
