Angular $location.path not working

Question

I have a question similar to this one, but different.

Here I am trying to add an event listener for a window.postMessage handler.

app.run(function ($         


        

Answer 1

You should run the expression as function in the $apply() method like

app.run(function ($location, $window, $rootScope) {
  $window.addEventListener('message', function(e) {
      $rootScope.$apply(function() {
        $location.path("/abc");
        console.log($location.path());
      });
  });
});

See documentation - ng.$rootScope.Scope.

If you want to improve testability, use $console instead of console and inject that object as well.
