# E2005

`useRoute()` was called inside a route middleware (directly or via another composable). At that point the target route is not yet resolved, so `useRoute()` can return unexpected values; middleware receives the `to` and `from` routes as arguments instead.

## Resolution

```ts
export default defineNuxtRouteMiddleware((to, from) => {
  // use `to` / `from` instead of useRoute()
})
```
