My 1.0.8 to 1.2.2 upgrade adventure...

[Eric Jain]

Looking at http://docs.angularjs.org/guide/migration, I found only two changes that would affect my code (or so I thought):

  1. ngRoute is now a separate module.

  2. `$location.search()['q']` can now be an array (good news!).


It turned out there were 3 more changes I had to do:

  1. Add target="_self" to Bootstrap tabs to prevent AngularJS from hijacking them.

  2. Replace data-ng-class="form.label.$valid || 'error'" with data-ng-class="!form.label.$valid && 'error'", to avoid the following error:

    TypeError: Object #<error> has no method 'split'

      at HTMLAnchorElement.v.handle (http://localhost:9000/js/jquery-1.10.2.min.js:5:10866)
   
  3. Add a '?' to make certain route parameters optional again, e.g. `$routeProvider..when('/foo/:bar?', { ... })`


Hope this will be useful to someone...
