Current behavior
No provider error when attempting to use _ActivatedRouteSnapshot_ in a guard applied to initially loaded URL (_CanActivate_ function called during initial page load). _Router_ object is accessible but state snapshot url property is an empty string.

Expected behavior
No error, URL/route information available regardless of when _CanActivate_ is called.

Reproduction of the problem
http://plnkr.co/edit/aJpxcpvperSM0qzcvd4G

Define a route in main app module with a _CanActivate_ guard service with _ActivatedRouteSnapshot_ in constructor and try to load that route initially. Workaround: subscribe to router events in main app constructor and save initial URL; reference this string in the _CanActivate_ if current router state snapshot url is blank.

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?
Apply route guard to initial URL

The ActivatedRouteSnapshot and RouterStateSnapshot are not injected. They are arguments in the canActivate method.

You can use the RouterStateSnapshot.url to get the intended destination URL
