Question: I can see in this file (<https://github.com/ReactTraining/react-router/blob/v0.13.3/modules/createRouter.js>) that there is a refresh function but I have no idea how to call it. I'm fairly new to react-router, I've only used it to move between some pages a couple times using hashHistory. 

Right now I am trying to use it so that when an install fails, the user is given the option to 'retry' which I plan to execute by refreshing the page where the install happens (the page the user would be currently on). Any help would be appreciated.

This is a node app that runs on electron, not a web app.

Answer: 
You could try [this](https://github.com/ReactTraining/react-router/issues/1982#issuecomment-172040295) workaround:

```
// I just wanted to reload a /messages page
history.pushState(null, '/');
history.pushState(null, '/messages');

```
update webpacker.yml

```
  devServer: {
    historyApiFallback: true,
  }

```
