Error: [$rootScope:infdig] 10 $digest() iterations reached.

While building your Angular application with this module, you may encounter this error:

Error: [$rootScope:infdig] 10 $digest() iterations reached. Aborting!
Watchers fired in the last 5 iterations: []

This happens when your default view (main if you are following our Angular Guide) is using the waitForUser option. The cause is this upstream bug: angular-ui/ui-router#600

Workaround:

Instead of this:

$urlRouterProvider
  .otherwise('/');

Use this:

$urlRouterProvider.otherwise( function($injector, $location) {
    var $state = $injector.get("$state");
    $state.go("main"); //redirect to a 404 page
});

If you are using our Angular Guide to create a project from scratch, that code will go into client/app.js

Great, thanks a lot Robert!

Yes, it was eating my brain. Thanks a lot @robertjd . Would you please also explain why this was happening with simple $urlRouterProvider.other('/') call and not with the alternative ?

I'd look at the linked issue above, for UI-Router - it explains the nuances of the issue.
