Error: Cannot match any routes. URL Segment:

Question

I am trying to follow this tutorial http://onehungrymind.com/named-router-outlets-in-angular-2/ but I am getting the error.

EXCEPTION: Uncaught (in promise): Error: Cannot match any routes. URL Segment: 'clients' Error: Cannot match any routes. URL Segment: 'clients'

Here is my Router module

import {NgModule} from "@angular/core";
import {Routes, RouterModule} from "@angular/router";
import {AppComponent} from "./app.component";
import {ClientComponent} from "./clients/client.component";
import {ClientDetailsComponent} from "./clients/client-details/client-details.component";
import {ClientListComponent} from "./clients/client-list/client-list.component";

const routes: Routes = [
    {path: '', component: AppComponent},
    {path: 'clients', component: ClientComponent, children: [
        {path: 'list', component: ClientListComponent, outlet: 'client-list'},
        {path: ':id', component: ClientDetailsComponent, outlet: 'client-details'}
    ]
    },
];

@NgModule({
    imports: [RouterModule.forRoot(routes)],
    exports: [RouterModule],
    providers: []
})
export class RoutingModule {
}

App.component

export class AppComponent {
    clientsLoaded = false;

    constructor(private clientService: ClientService,
                private router: Router) {
    }

    loadClientsComponent() {
        this.router.navigate(['/clients', {outlets: {'client-list': ['clients'], 'client-details': ['none'], 'client-accounts-info': ['none']}}]);
        this.clientsLoaded = true;
    }


}

Client.component

import {Component} from "@angular/core";
import {ClientService} from "../services/client.service";
import {Router} from "@angular/router";
import {Client} from "./client-details/model/client.model";
@Component({
    selector: 'clients',
    templateUrl: 'app/clients/client.component.html'
})
export class ClientComponent {
    clients: Array<Client> = [];

    constructor(private clientService: ClientService,
                private router: Router) {
    }
    ngOnInit() {
        this.getClients().subscribe((clients) => {
            this.clients = clients;
        });
    }

    getClients() {
        return this.clientService.getClients();
    }
}

What can be wrong ? I would be grateful for any help

UPDATE

Thanks for the advice, I have tried something like that

const routes: Routes = [
    {path: '', component: AppComponent, pathMatch: 'full'},
    {path: 'clients', component: ClientComponent, children: [
        {path: '', component: ClientComponent},
        {path: 'list', component: ClientListComponent, outlet: 'client-list'},
        {path: ':id', component: ClientDetailsComponent, outlet: 'client-details'}
    ]
    },
];

But it still doesn't work.

Maybe I am doing this wrong but I have the following template for my ClientComponent

<div id="sidebar" class="col-sm-3 client-sidebar">
    <h2 class="sidebar__header">
        Client list
    </h2>
    <div class="sidebar__list">
        <router-outlet name="client-list"></router-outlet>
    </div>
</div>
<div id="client-info" class="col-sm-4 client-info">
    <div class="client-info__section client-info__section--general">
        <router-outlet name="client-details"></router-outlet>
    </div>
</div>

So I want my client component to keep all client related components. And if user clicks for example a button then a client list is loaded.

Add pathMatch: 'full'

{path: '', component: AppComponent, pathMatch: 'full'},

to routes with empty path '' and no child routes.
