Error: useRoutes() may be used only in the context of a <Router> component

I'm adding React modules dynamically using System JS, and it works great!
Except if I try to use the react-router context from the loaded module.

"react-router-dom": "6.0.0-beta.0"

You can see in the react component explorer that there is definitely a <Router> component as an ancestor.
The routing works fine in the host application - it only breaks when called from a dynamically loaded component.

I'm a novice with React, so I could be making a wrong assumption of how the contexts are provided to deeply nested or dynamically loaded children.

Router is mounted here -

Module is being loaded here -

The module element that throws the exception is here -

The problem was due to having the react-router-dom lib in the module bundle.
When the dynamic module loaded, it was using it's own version of the lib, rather then the one provided by the host application.

I added this to the externals in my webpack/rollup config, and the problem was solved.

I can now have children routes managed by a plugin inside a host application! =].

Wrapping <App /> inside <Router> </Router> will resolve the issue.

import { BrowserRouter as Router } from "react-router-dom";

<Router>
 <App/>
</Router>
