changing $location.path() appears not to work in some circumstrances

[Mathias Verraes]

Hi,

I'm trying to bind some actions to shortcut keys, using keymaster.js. 

However, for some reason, changing $location doesn't affect the url, when I'm inside a function passed to keymaster. Please see this example code:

https://gist.github.com/2308833

(it's not in jsfiddle because you can't see url changes in jsfiddle anyway).

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug in either keymaster or angular?

thanks!

Mathias

looks like the third-party code is executing the location update asynchronously - outside of the angular context, so you have to replace:

$location.path('/bar');

with:

$scope.$apply(function() {

$location.path('/bar');

});

/i

try this:

$timeout(function () {

    $location.path('/bar');

});

don't forget to inject $timeout
