Transition Rejection -> $transitions.onError triggered all the time about sample-app-angular-hybrid

[christopherthielen]

hi @adamlubek sorry for the late (probably too late) response.

Every transition, once started, is either successful (meaning the destination state is active, etc) or it fails/errors. When a transition is redirected, the original transition is cancelled and a new one is started to the redirect target. Thus, the original transition has technically errorred. See this section of the Transition guide for more information.

If you want to filter specific types of errors, you can do so in your onError hook by checking the type of the TransitionRejection (see RejectType docs). For RejectType.SUPERSEDED, there is an additional redirected flag which tells you if the transition was superseded because of a redirect.

.onError({}, transition => {
  const err = transition.error();
  switch (err.type) {
    case RejectType.ERROR:
      // do error stuff
      break;
    case RejectType.SUPERSEDED:
    case RejectType.IGNORED:
      // ignore
      break;
  }
});

Sorry again, and hope this is helpful information

any update on this please? We would like to use UI-router for production code but issues like that are stopping us.
