angularjs 1.6.0 (latest now) routes not working

43.3k views Asked by At

I was expecting to see this question on Stackoverflow but didn't. Apparently I'm the only one having this problem that seems to me to be very common.

I have a basic project I am working on but the routes don't seem to work even though everything I've done so far seems to be right.

I have this piece of html in my index.html file:

<html>
<head ng-app="myApp"> 
    <title>New project</title>
    <script src="https://code.angularjs.org/1.6.0/angular.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://code.angularjs.org/1.6.0/angular-route.min.js"></script>

    <script src="app.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <a href="#/add-quote">Add Quote</a>
    <div ng-view ></div>
</body>
</html>

and here is my app.js:

var app = angular.module('myApp', ['ngRoute']);


app.config(['$routeProvider', function ($routeProvider) {
    $routeProvider
        .when('/add-quote', {
            templateUrl: 'views/add_quote.html',
            controller: 'QuoteCtrl'
        })
        .otherwise({ redirectTo: '/' });
}]);

Now when I just visit the page, here is what I get in the url:

http://localhost:8000/admin#!/

and when I click on the Add quote button, I get this:

http://localhost:8000/admin#!/#%2Fadd-quote

What can be the problem here? Thanks for help

Simply use hashbang #! in the href:

 <a href="#!/add-quote">Add Quote</a>

Due to aa077e8, the default hash-prefix used for $location hash-bang URLs has changed from the empty string ('') to the bang ('!').

If you actually want to have no hash-prefix, then you can restore the previous behavior by adding a configuration block to your application:

appModule.config(['$locationProvider', function($locationProvider) {
  $locationProvider.hashPrefix('');
}]);

For more information, see


Sorry to get on my high horse but... How did this get released? This is massive, breaking bug. — @MiloTheGreat

The breaking change as by #14202 should be reverted as the reference specification was already officially deprecated #15715

I'm going to close this issue because we haven't got any feedback. Feel free to reopen this issue if you can provide new feedback.

Simply include the ! into the href:

<body>
    <a href="#!/add-quote">Add Quote</a>
    <div ng-view ></div>
</body>

I couldn't get routing to work in 1.6.4 so I decided to use angular 1.5.11 and routing works fine although I needed to define all my routings in when(..) functions with trailing "/"

If sticking to an older version of angular is an option for you then consider it since it may save your nerves...

var app = angular.module("myApp", ["ngRoute"]);

app.config(function($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when("/layoutandviewbox", {
    templateUrl : "views/layout-and-viewbox.html"
})
.when("/basicshapes", {
    templateUrl : "views/basic-shapes.html"
})
.when("/advancedshapes", {
    templateUrl : "views/advanced-shapes.html"
})
.when("/groups", {
    templateUrl : "views/groups.html"
})
.when("/transformations", {
    templateUrl : "views/transformations.html"
})
.when("/effects", {
    templateUrl : "views/effects.html"
})
.when("/", {
    templateUrl : "views/basic-shapes.html"
});
});
