1.0.0-alpha.1: Cannot read property 'resolveContext' of undefined

[garycourt]

I'm attempting to upgrade ui-router to angular-ui-router#1.0.0-alpha.1 with angular#1.4.7. Some of our links are throwing errors at the following line:

var resolveCtx = common_1.find($transition$.treeChanges().to, hof_1.propEq('state', vc.viewDecl.$context)).resolveContext;

TypeError: Cannot read property 'resolveContext' of undefined

Best I can tell, routes that have a resolve option to them ($stateProvider.state('foo',{resolve:{/*...*/}})) seem to throw this.

Any ideas why common_1.find would return undefined when this route used to work in angular-ui-router#0.2.17?

That code is fetching all the locals (resolve data) for a view (controller)

As far as I can tell, we couldn't find the right object in the "to path" (which is the path of nested states from the root state down to the transition's target state).

This could be caused by a number of things. Can you drop a breakpoint there (in Chrome, use the "pause on exceptions" feature) and report back what is the value of:

• vc.viewDecl
• vc.viewDecl.$context.name
• $transition$.treeChanges().to.map(function(node) { return node.state.name; })
• $transition$.treeChanges().to.map(function(node) { return node.resolveContext; })
• I'd also like to see the state definition which is failing.

If I can reproduce this, I'll get this fixed up ASAP and put into alpha.2

As requested:

//vs.viewDecl
{
$context:exports.extend.exports.extend
$name:"menu@main.shop"
$type:"ng1"
$uiViewContextAnchor:"main.shop"
$uiViewName:"menu"
controller:"ShopMenuController"
resolveAs:"$resolve"
templateUrl:"shopMenu.html"
}

//vc.viewDecl.$context.name
"main.shop.collection.category"

//$transition$.treeChanges().to.map(function(node) { return node.state.name; })
["", "main", "main.shop", "main.shop.category"]

//$transition$.treeChanges().to.map(function(node) { return node.resolveContext; })

If you still need to see the state definitions, let me know and I'll send it as a PM to you.
