"TypeError: Cannot read property 'type' of undefined" when clicking "Go to about page via redux"

Hello -

I like the setup of your project a lot and found your Medium post very useful, so thanks!

When I clone this repo and start it, I am having the issue from the title:
"TypeError: Cannot read property 'type' of undefined"
when I click the "Go to about page via redux".

Based on this commit on cyberid41's fork, they seem to have the issue too.

Some googling led me to this issue on the react-router-redux page, where it was indicated there might be a problem with the ordering of the middleware, but it looks right to me (thunk first).

Anyway, you obviously don't owe me anything but I figured you might want to know and if you do happen to have a solution I'd love to see it :). Also, I'm very new to open source and github, so apologies if this is an incorrect or inappropriate way to file an issue. Thanks for reading!

Hey @joncass

This is the perfect place for these kind of issues. So don't worry! I'm new to OSS too, so we're all learning 😀

I'll have a look into the issue and get back to you shortly. Sorry about the inconvenience!

I as well had the same issue (error page screenshot http://imgur.com/a/OxAxI). I would also like to note that you're code and the code on the tutorial I followed were different (and I assumed that the github was more up to date). FYI. Thanks for posting the tutorials.

Hey @patientplatypus

Thanks for the feedback, I'll update the Medium post this weekend and change the way the dispatch is used for changing routes.

Have a great weekend!

Ok so the problem with this is the use of bindActionCreators.

When I first made the tutorial I wasn't use this and I dropped it in last minute so it's failing due to calling dispatch on something that is already mapped to a dispatch.

Inside src/containers/home you'll want to change changePage function to be....

changePage: () => push('/about-us')

I'll update the tutorial + repo next.
