Any clue to what Im missing?

Answer 1

The problem is that Bootstrap appends #according_name within a a tag. This triggers a AngularJS routing and due to route change test.html is loaded again on every click on accordian link.

Your options are to try to configure $locationProvider to use HTML5 mode with hashbag if it works

$locationProvider.html5Mode(true).hashPrefix('!');

See some documentation here

Other would be to use angular-ui component but it has been not ported to support version 3 of bootstrap.

Answer 2

Actually, there might be a simpler solution.

You can just make sure that the links don't propagate the URL change.

Add to the a tag onclick="return false;"

Answer 3

You can empty the href="" and use

data-target="#collapse" instead, this worked for me

i.e

<a data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion" href="" 
data-target="#collapse1">Collapsible Group 1</a>

Answer 4

I was having an issue using href and data-target together, so if you are using this in an application I'd recommend specifying one or the other but not both.

When I used both, I'd get redirected to my login page as soon as I clicked on it. With one or the other specified it worked fine, but not with both.
