checking authentication:true for $stateProvider

[johntmyers]

I saw that back in Sep there was PR #683 ... when I scaffold out a new app, browsing to /settings actually brings me to a blank page, the redirect never happens.

When I remove the event.preventDefault(); it works just fine.

@johntmyers a couple questions, what version of the generator did you use? Also, mind posting your .yo-rc.json file?

Try this:

---  .run(function ($rootScope, $location, Auth) {
+++  .run(function ($rootScope, $state, Auth) {
    // Redirect to login if route requires auth and you're not logged in
    $rootScope.$on('$stateChangeStart', function (event, next) {
      Auth.isLoggedInAsync(function(loggedIn) {
        if (next.authenticate && !loggedIn) {
          event.preventDefault();
---          $location.path('/login');
+++          $state.go('login');
        }
      });
    });
  });

[johntmyers]

Yep, that works. Should we be using $state when using ui-router then?

[kingcody]

We should, and it has actually been taken care of in the canary branch: 6aadee6#diff-11

I'll close this, as the solution has been posted and fixed in dev branch
