AngularJS service not invoking error callback on save() method

Question

So I\'m using angularjs restful service $resource and I\'m calling $save function. However, the error callback I pass to it is not being called. The server is sending a 41

Answer 1

I'm copying from the ngResource documentation:

The action methods on the class object or instance object can be invoked with the following parameters:

• HTTP GET "class" actions: Resource.action([parameters], [success], [error])
• non-GET "class" actions: Resource.action([parameters], postData, [success], [error])
• non-GET instance actions: instance.$action([parameters], [success], [error])

Success callback is called with (value, responseHeaders) arguments. Error callback is called with (httpResponse) argument.

$save is considered as a non-GET "class" action, so you must to use an extra postData parameter. Using the same question example, this should work:

modalScope.submit = function(user) {
    user.$save( {}, {}, function(data,headers) {
        // do the success case
    }, function(response) {
        // do the error case                
    });
};

Keep an eye on the error callback, compared with the example, is calling with just one argument, which brings all the http response.
