datepicker-popup stopped working in UI Bootstrap 0.11.0

[ngtrimble]

I am having an issue with UI Bootstrap 0.11.0. My datepicker-popup was working fine in 0.10.0. It is a simple that when the user clicks in it the datepicker appears.

In UI Bootstrap 0.11.0 the datepicker just does not popup any more. The problem can be reproduced at http://plnkr.co/edit/3fxVbuTxlTetNvQW4JeZ?p=preview. Just comment the 0.10.0 URL and uncomment the 0.11.0 URL.

Please let me know if I can provide anymore details. Thanks.

@ngtrimble You could read about removing the "open on focus" in the changelog, but you can also read my comment for the rationale of the decision and find a workaround if you still want to have this functionality.

If I use ng-focus, when I click on a date in the datepicker, I get the error:

Plunk example throws JS error:
Error: [$rootScope:inprog] $apply already in progress
errors.angularjs.org/1.2.16/$rootScope/inprog?p0=%24apply at
code.angularjs.org/1.2.16/angular.js:78:12 ...

I've the same error when I add ng-focus="dt.open = true" and click on a date in the popup.

We're also (intermittently) seeing the "$apply already in progress" error when we use the ng-focus fix. A possible solution might be to to set the is-open attribute using a setTimeout, but I haven't tried it.

We've decided (internally) to create a wrapper around datepicker which includes a "select date" button that opens the calendar.

@bekos It's not mentioned anywhere in the changelog, which is why people are creating issues for this.

@avp @boillodmanuel FWIW we were able to solve the errors by using ng-click instead of ng-focus.

Unfortunately, due to the way manual date input works with the picker, we were asked to replace it by a jquery timepicker (https://github.com/Eonasdan/bootstrap-datetimepicker). Luckily this was after having created the wrapper, so it was a reasonably quick fix.

@OlmoAcerta Using ng-click won't make it work when you tab into the field, which is what I would really like.

Can we please have the "focus" functionality put back in?

[cornel-masson]

Huh?

I have a standard date-picker which works in 0.10.0, but doesn't in 0.11.0. What's going on? My picker is declared with one attribute:

<input ... datepicker-popup="dd/MM/yyyy"...>

which, in 0.10.0, brought up the picker if I click in the input field, but now it does nothing. How can this possibly be acceptable behaviour?

[Rayton]

+1 have the same problem as the cornel-masson.
Also it could be nice if the datepicker should re-size and position according to the DOM like that in jqueryUI datepicker and bootstrap datepicker.
Can this feature be added or just create a directive to include jqueryUI datepicker?

+1 cornel-masson and rayton.

Any update on this? This is affecting the project that I'm working on.

+1 sagar-ganatra on this too. Any update on this? I can't upgrade to .11 until this is fixed.
