Is there a way to request $http for an interceptor?

[Evgeni T]

The idea is to get a data from another source in certain cases, so I have this:

factory("interceptor", function ($q, $location, $http) {
    return function (promise) {
        return promise;
    }
}

which fails with [$injector:cdep] Circular dependency found: interceptor <- $http

Also tried to inject $injector and retrieve $http using that, with same results. Any ideas?

why would you want an interceptor to depend on $http?

dude, your doing it wrong

AFAIK you do need to use the $injector service, but only ask for $http when the interceptor is called (i.e. in your callback function), so in your example:

factory("interceptor", function ($q, $location, $injector) {
    var $http;

    return function (promise) {

        $http = $http || $injector.get('$http'); // do it here instead
        // do something with $http here...

        return promise;
    }
}

I've used this approach before when depending on services in my interceptors that depend on $http, seems to do the trick.

I'll try that.

I'm trying to figure out a better way to get a mock data for e2e testing, $httpBackend doesn't seem to do what I want it to. I'm still figuring it out, though.

Yeah, it works, thanks. Turned out I didn't really need it, though.. but might need it in a future.

Wrote a blog post on e2e testing, which explains why I wanted this.
