I\'m baffled by the following: I have a simple link like this:

    
Foos

but when cli

Answer 1

I have been able to resolve this issue by adding target="_self" to the link.

<li><a href="#/foo" target="_self">Foos</a></li>

I found this resolution here.

Answer 2

Ok, so apparently, this is a known issue of sorts: when the locationProvider (i.e. $location) is injected to one controller, links cease to work globally. One workaround seems to be to rewrite the links via jQuery, and that works:

app.run(function($rootScope) {
    $('[ng-app]').on('click', 'a', function() {
        window.location.href = $(this).attr('href');
    });
});
