Description

Creating a router with :

 let mut router = Router::new()
            .route(
                "/*path", ....

Used to match an empty path ("/"), but with axum 0.6 it does not work anymore...

Wildcards not matching just a slash is an intentional change. From the changelog:

The request /foo/ no longer matches /foo/*rest. If you want to match /foo/ you have to add a route specifically for that (#1086)

You have to add routes for both / and /*path or just use Router::fallback to catch everything.

Ok, thanks for the quick answer, fallback does work well !
