controller tries to revalidate a form after exiting state

[royair]

hi, i have a dummy angular's blog project:
the state hierarchy goes like this:

• admin (abstract)
• |-admin.list (a list of all posts to admin)
• |-admin.edit (a single post edit)
• |-admin.add (for adding a new post)

under edit.html (state: admin.edit) i have a form named 'postForm' with some validation on it.
for some reason, when exiting the state using ui-sref="admin.list" - angular tries to digest the old state, with no success of course, since 'postForm' does no longer exists thus no validation can be performed.

have any idea why ui-router tries to digest old state when exiting?

p.s.
validation works fine.

the project can be found here:
https://github.com/royair/blog/
to install:

1. clone project
2. npm i
3. npm start

thanks in advance!

Any chance you could boil it down to a smaller example as there is a lot of code to go through

I went through the trouble of spinning up a vm and cloning this repo

@royair do I need credentials to login or something to even reproduce this?

Hi @christopherthielen
thanks for helping!

i have created a new branch to reflect the issue
please use: 'ui-router-bug'

regarding creds, you can use:
email: [email protected]
pwd: 123456

once installed (1. clone project 2. npm i 3. npm start)
go to http://localhost:8081/#/admin/add
and click the admin link at the top.
you should be able to see some errors at the console.

This is related to the code we added for #1643

I think we will be reverting that code in 0.2.19 in favor of exposing the animation promise: #2562

See also #2485

In the meantime, update to ui-router 0.2.18 and add noanimation to your ui-view tag
<div ui-view noanimation></div>
