Provider does not warn if function arguments length exceeds nr of elements

[tarjei]

OK, this may not be possible to fix, but here goes.

Let's say I got:

myApp.controller("someController", ["$http", "someservice", function($http, someservice, anotherservice) {

});

Then anotherservice will be undefined - and angular will not complain. It would be great if angular actually gave a warning that there is an unbound parameter in the function or something like that.

Is that possible?

Sounds like a good idea. At least a warning. Adding to post 1.2 as a feature request.

This should be too complex (?) but would save me some time on numerous occasions...

The issue is that we can't be sure that the $log service has been registered when the warning needs to happen.

We could be using something like angular.$$log.warn.push('warning') to work around that.
Can also be used to warn about "compile + link" or "require without link" in directive definitions.

@rodyhaddad I've been thinking that Angular should have a -debug version with checks like these that get compiled out of the .min version.
