I also wanted the same functionality for my plugin to reopen `ApplicationRoute`. But it always fail with error `Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'reopen' of undefined(…)(anonymous function) @ javascripts/custom_auth:1(anonymous function) @ plugin-third-party.js:7`. Can anyone help me what is wrong in it.

Also I installed the above mentioned hummingbird plugin in my development env. That one also not working ☹ (javascript part)

I don’t think ApplicationRoute is defined on the Discourse window object. Have you tried

```plaintext
import ApplicationRoute from 'discourse/routes/application';

```

?
