ionic2 - bug?(popover) - navigation from popover.

[zakton5]

Short description of the problem:

This is kind of a question, but could also be a bug/enhancement. If I open a popover, say on a details page, it has options to Edit or Delete the item. When I delete the item, I want to pop the detail page off of the stack. However, this does not work from within the popover. Instead, I have to use Events or pass callbacks.

On the other hand, I am able to push a page onto the navstack, but only in a very certain way.

So, is there, or could there be, any way to accomplish this, or do I have to keep using Events, which I respond to on the detail page itself?

dont you mind to share your code showing the problem ?

Sure, there isn't much to it. Within a popover component:

this.viewCtrl.dismiss().then(() => {
    this.navCtrl.pop();
});

This code successfully dismisses the popover, but does not navigate back. However, the following code sucessfully navigates forward:

this.viewCtrl.dismiss().then(() => {
    this.navCtrl.push(Page);
});

Hello @zakton5 thanks for opening an issue with us! This has been fixed in the rc.0 release. Thanks for using Ionic!

This issues has not been fixed:

this.viewCtrl.dismiss().then(() => {
    this.navCtrl.pop();
});

Still does not navigate back, it only dismisses the popover. I have exactly same situation as @ekhmoi described

Instead of navigating back it throws an errror message

polyfills.js:3 Unhandled Promise rejection: Cannot read property 'getTransitionName' of null ; Zone: angular ; Task: Promise.then ; Value: TypeError: Cannot read property 'getTransitionName' of null(…) TypeError: Cannot read property 'getTransitionName' of null

Hi there, might be way too late but i figured this out by using the App import on my popover page.

import { App } from 'ionic-angular';

constructor(public appCtrl: App) {}

this.appCtrl.getRootNav().pop();
