Issue in explicitly setting row as selected

[chormule]

Initially when UI grid loads the data, I want to show first row as selected. I found one issue -
I am calling this public API
$scope.gridApi.selection.selectRow(row);

This method internally calls toggleRowSelection and multiSelect, noUnselect are false in my case.
toggleRowSelection: function (grid, row, evt, multiSelect, noUnselect)

var selected = row.isSelected; // undefined afer loading the grid

In the above method, i am able to see selected value is "undefined" after initializing the grid.
Therefore, code goes into following if block and which clears the row.
if (!multiSelect && !selected)
However, the code should first check whether is it undefined or not. Either, there should be some different API for selecting row. Using togle is issue.

You can see a workaround in the selection tutorial (bottom grid), where they wait a tick after initialization to select a row:

$http.get('https://cdn.rawgit.com/angular-ui/ui-grid.info/gh-pages/data/500_complex.json')
    .success(function(data) {
      $scope.gridOptions.data = data;

      // $interval whilst we wait for the grid to digest the data we just gave it
      $interval( function() {$scope.gridApi.selection.selectRow($scope.gridOptions.data[0]);}, 0, 1);
    });

Removing the $interval part of that line shows the same behavior that you mentioned above.
