Infinite digest when loading url without anything after the #

[VictorioBerra]

Angular version: 1.3.5
ui-router: 0.2.13

When I hit my URL with: index.html# or just index.html

the page and URL will flicker a few times before finally going to my location defined in $urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/otherwisetest');

I will get this about 6 times:
Error: [$rootScope:infdig] 10 $digest() iterations reached. Aborting!
Watchers fired in the last 5 iterations: []

Looks like this issue angular/angular.js#10228. Try to update angular to 1.3.6, this should help.

1.3.6 did not fix the problem.

Neither did 1.3.7-build.3695 snapshot. Faced this issue during migration from 1.2.22 to 1.3.6. Any advice on how to fix this?

I'm getting this on any custom defined rule right now. Even a simple rule like this causes the $digest issues:

if($location.url() === '/') {
    return '/dashboard/';
}

I don't know when this started. It's causing a real issue for me to debug a more complicated rule.

(Edit: Note that if I comment out the return statement on the rule, the error goes away.)

Same thing is happening to me.

• Angular 1.3.6
• Angular ui router 0.2.13

[OverZealous]

OK, so it turns out for me this issue was caused by angular-permission module, which will cancel a state change on start if redirected to a page with permissions associated to it.

This is the same issue as #600, and if you are experiencing the $digest issues, I suggest you look into their workaround (which fixed the issue for me completely).
