Backbone on route not giving me the route in the callback - backbone.js

Question

I am trying to call the router.on('route', callback) function, but the callback is not provided with the route ...
My router/app:
var Backbone = require('backbone')
Backbone.$ = $
var _ = require('underscore')
var App = Backbone.Router.extend({
// nothing here yet
}, {
instance: null,
getInstance: function () {
App.instance = App.instance || new App
return App.instance
}
})
module.exports = App
Some module using the router:
var IndexView = require('./views/IndexView')
var App = require('../../AppModule/js/main')
var _ = require('underscore')
var Backbone = require('backbone')
Backbone.$ = $
function IndexModule(opts) {
this.app = App.getInstance()
this.indexView = new IndexView({
view: opts.view
})
this.init = function() {
this.app.route('', _.bind(this.indexRoute, this))
this.app.route('testroute#:id', function(id) {
console.log(id)
})
this.app.on('route', _.bind(this.routeChanged, this))
}
this.indexRoute = function() {
this.indexView.render()
}
this.routeChanged = function() {
console.log(arguments)
}
}
module.exports = IndexModule
Somewhere form $(document).ready():
var indexModule = new IndexModule({
view: "someview.html"
})
indexModule.init()
Backbone.history.start({root: '/'});
If I go to testroute/2 I get this result:
["", ["2"]]
Shouldn't the route (testroute) come up in an argument as a string??
Thanks..

Just realized that you have setup the route as testroute/:id. Since id is the only variable here, only that is passed as an argument to the handler. You should try something like :routeName/:id This way, both the route name and id will be passed as arguments.
