angularjs 1.6.0 (latest now) routes not working

Question

I was expecting to see this question on Stackoverflow but didn\'t. Apparently I\'m the only one having this problem that seems to me to be very common.

I have a basi

Answer 1

I couldn't get routing to work in 1.6.4 so I decided to use angular 1.5.11 and routing works fine although I needed to define all my routings in when(..) functions with trailing "/"

If sticking to an older version of angular is an option for you then consider it since it may save your nerves...

var app = angular.module("myApp", ["ngRoute"]);

app.config(function($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when("/layoutandviewbox", {
    templateUrl : "views/layout-and-viewbox.html"
})
.when("/basicshapes", {
    templateUrl : "views/basic-shapes.html"
})
.when("/advancedshapes", {
    templateUrl : "views/advanced-shapes.html"
})
.when("/groups", {
    templateUrl : "views/groups.html"
})
.when("/transformations", {
    templateUrl : "views/transformations.html"
})
.when("/effects", {
    templateUrl : "views/effects.html"
})
.when("/", {
    templateUrl : "views/basic-shapes.html"
});
});
