Redirect using AngularJS

angularjs redirect location

I'm trying to redirect to another route using:

$location.path("/route");

But for some reason it is not working. I did an auto-complete widget using jQuery-UI and I'm calling a function from the scope once the user selects an option. I debugged it and it enters the function but it is never redirected to the other route. It only changes the route when I press a key.

I think it is kind of strange but I haven't figured out how to solve this. I used

window.location = "#/route";

and it works but I want to use the path() function.

Does anybody have any idea why this is happening?

With an example of the not-working code, it will be easy to answer this question, but with this information the best that I can think is that you are calling the $location.path outside of the AngularJS digest.

Try doing this on the directive scope.$apply(function() { $location.path("/route"); });
