getActiveNode not working

[clintonbeattie]

Describe the bug

This is a common setup that I use so I am very familiar with it but for some reason the getActiveNode is empty. I have tried using {{ dump(nodeActive)}} and nothing is ouput.

{% set headerNavigationNodes = craft.navigation.nodes('headerNavigation').level(1).all() %}
{% set nodeActive = craft.navigation.getActiveNode({ handle: 'headerNavigation' }, true) %}

<nav>
    <ul id="main-navigation" class="main-nav hide-lt-xl">
        {% for node in headerNavigationNodes %}
            <li class=""><a href="{{ node.url }}" class="{% if nodeActive == node.title %} is-active{% endif %}">{{ node.title }}</a></li>
        {% endfor %}
    </ul>
</nav>

Seems to be okay for me! What sort of node is the one you're checking against to see if it's active?
