Using new AlertController inside provider (Injectable)

[Bouzmine]

Short description of the problem:

I have a global Unknown error reporting service in my app which opens an alert asking the user if he wants to report the error. I used to open the alert by injecting App and then doing so :

let alert = Alert.create(...);

this.app.getActiveNav().present(alert);

When I try to inject AlertController, it triggers this error :

Cannot resolve all parameters for 'UserReport'(TranslateService, undefined). Make sure that all the parameters are decorated with Inject or have valid type annotations and that 'UserReport' is decorated with Injectable.

Where undefined is supposed to be AlertController.

What behavior are you expecting?

AlertController to properly inject.

I have test this with a Toast that I have when the user gets out of connection and seems to be working.

That nightly doesn't contain AlertController, LoadingController, ToastController. This where my steps (don't know if there is something better):

1 - git clone git@github.com:driftyco/ionic.git
2 - cd ionic
3 - npm install
4 - gulp build.release && gulp tests && gulp package
5 - Update your [PROJECT]/package.json to:
    "@angular/common": "^2.0.0-rc.4",
    "@angular/compiler": "^2.0.0-rc.4",
    "@angular/core": "^2.0.0-rc.4",
    "@angular/http": "^2.0.0-rc.4",
    "@angular/forms": "0.2.0",
    "@angular/platform-browser": "^2.0.0-rc.4",
    "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "^2.0.0-rc.4"

6 - npm install on your project directory
7 - copy ionic/dist contents to [PROJECT]/node_modules/ionic-angular

Hello @Bouzmine this is caused by the fact that AlertController Is now a service, and in Angular 2 a service cannot be injected into another service. I would recommend converting your error service to a component. Thanks for using Ionic! Also, @ZiFFeL1992 it seems as if your on an older nightly. You can run npm install ionic-angular@nightly to install the latest one. Thanks everyone!

Hello all, I am going to reopen this issue as it exposed an underlying issue with AlertController and is something we want to explore more.

@jgw96 The latest nightly is currently I bit old, that's why I compile master.

'2.0.0-beta.10-201606302045': '2016-06-30T20:46:03.098Z'

As I said before seems like everything is working fine, but if someone else could test will be great.

@ZiFFeL1992 you're right, it works after following the steps above. Closing this.
