Webpack bundling causes Unknown provider $injector/unpr error


Unknown provider - NavigationCtrl, Restangular

I'm currently working through my old projects to get them fully working again as a small refactoring exercise and I came across some AngularJS code that doesn't compile anymore. I believe this is down to the updated dependencies as I have not changed the functionality of this source code for at least 3 years.

The issue I'm getting is:

angular.js:15567 Error: [$injector:unpr] Unknown provider: AProvider <- A <- NavigationCtrl https://errors.angularjs.org/1.7.8/$injector/unpr?p0=AProvider%20%3C-%20A%20%3C-%20NavigationCtrl

at $controllerInit (angular.js:11704)
at nodeLinkFn (angular.js:10517)
at compositeLinkFn (angular.js:9832)

I understand this as an injection issue. I'm trying to inject something that Angular doesn't know about. It's a little confusing as I've not worked with AngularJS for a while now (having used Angular 2+).

My app.js file looks like this:

angular.module('qaDashboard', ['restangular'])
    .run(['$anchorScroll', function ($anchorScroll) {
        $anchorScroll.yOffset = 85;   // always scroll by 50 extra pixels
    }]);

angular.module('qaDashboard').controller('NavigationCtrl', function ($scope, $location, $anchorScroll) {
    $scope.scrollTo = function (id) {
        $location.hash(id);
        $anchorScroll();
    };
});

// Environment
require('../components/environments/script.js');
require('../components/environments/style.scss');

// Feature
require('../components/features/script.js');
require('../components/features/style.scss');

// Day
require('../components/days/script.js');
require('../components/days/style.scss');

// Hour
require('../components/hours/script.js');

// Report Data (URL & JSON)
require('../components/report/script.js');
require('../components/report/style.scss');

// Index Style
require('../stylesheets/style.scss');

And my index.html looks like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="qaDashboard">

<head>
    <title>DASHBOARD</title>
    <script src="/node_modules/angular/angular.js"></script>
    <script src="/node_modules/lodash/lodash.js"></script>
    <script src="/node_modules/restangular/src/restangular.js"></script>
    <script src="/javascripts/app.bundle.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<body>
    <div class="navbar">
        <p>Regression Test Dashboard</p>
        <div ng-controller="NavigationCtrl" class="navbarAlign">
            <a ng-click="scrollTo('Dev')" class="btn">Dev</a>
            <a ng-click="scrollTo('QA')" class="btn">QA</a>
            <a ng-click="scrollTo('Staging')" class="btn">Staging</a>
            <a ng-click="scrollTo('Staging_EMEA')" class="btn">Staging EMEA</a>
            <a ng-click="scrollTo('Production')" class="btn">Production</a>
            <a ng-click="scrollTo('Production_EMEA')" class="btn">Production EMEA</a>
            <!--<a class="btn">[Do stuff]</a>-->
        </div>
    </div>

    <environments>

    </environments>
</body>

</html>

I've tried removing individual controllers and that hasn't worked. Am I missing something obvious here? Has the syntax/ API changed a lot since I last worked with this code?

The app,js file gets bundled by webpack - dunno if that's the root of the issue. I know for a fact that this code worked perfectly fine before. I just feel like I'm missing something trivial and it's proving a little difficult to spot.

My package.json - if it helps:

{
  "name": "dashboard",
  "version": "0.5.0",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node ./bin/www"
  },

    "style-loader": "^0.23.1",
    "url-loader": "^2.1.0",
    "webpack": "^4.36.1"
  }
}

EDIT:

I've tried this:

angular.module('qaDashboard', ['restangular'])
    .controller('NavigationCtrl', function ($scope, $location, $anchorScroll) {
        $scope.scrollTo = function (id) {
            $location.hash(id);
            $anchorScroll();
        }
            .run(['$anchorScroll', function ($anchorScroll) {
                $anchorScroll.yOffset = 85;   // always scroll by 50 extra pixels
            }])
    });

without luck.

Edit 2:

I just tried georgeawg's response with the following code:

angular.module('qaDashboard', ['restangular'])
    .controller('NavigationCtrl', ["$scope", "$location", "$anchorScroll",
        function ($scope, $location, $anchorScroll) {
            $scope.scrollTo = function (id) {
                $location.hash(id);
                $anchorScroll();
            }
        }]);

// Environment
require('../components/environments/script.js');
require('../components/environments/style.scss');

// Feature
require('../components/features/script.js');
require('../components/features/style.scss');

// Day
require('../components/days/script.js');
require('../components/days/style.scss');

// Hour
require('../components/hours/script.js');

// Report Data (URL & JSON)
require('../components/report/script.js');
require('../components/report/style.scss');

// Index Style
require('../stylesheets/style.scss');

I'm getting an angular.js:15567 Error: [$injector:unpr] Unknown provider: AProvider <- A issue now.

My components look like this:

angular.module('qaDashboard').component('environments', {
    controller: function (Restangular) {
        this.$onInit = () => {
            Restangular.one('environments').get().then((response) => {
                this.environments = response.environments;
            });
        }
    },
    template: require('./template.html'),

}).filter('formattedEnvironment', () => {
    return (item) => {
        return item.replace('-', ' ')
                   .replace('_', ' ')
                   .replace('_', ' ')
                   .replace('_', ' ');
    }
});
<div id="{{environment}}" ng-repeat="environment in $ctrl.environments" class="borderedHolder">
    <h1>{{environment | formattedEnvironment}}</h1>
    <features environment='environment' >

    </features>
</div>

(there are several components and they all use Restangular like above ^

Edit 3: I've tried:

with: angular.js:15567 Error: [$controller:ctrlreg] The controller with the name 'EnvironmentsController' is not registered.

angular.module('qaDashboard').component('environments', {
    controller: 'EnvironmentsController', ['Restangular', function (Restangular) {
        this.$onInit = () => {
            Restangular.one('environments').get().then((response) => {
                this.environments = response.environments;
            });
        }
    },
        template]: require('./template.html'),

})


Solution

  • Use Inline Array Annotation:

    angular.module('qaDashboard', ['restangular'])
    .controller('NavigationCtrl', ["$scope","$location","$anchorScroll",
      function($scope, $location, $anchorScroll) {
        $scope.scrollTo = function (id) {
            $location.hash(id);
            $anchorScroll();
        }
    }]);
    

    Update

    To help you find this kind of problem before you uglify, use Strict Dependency Injection.

    From the Docs:

    Using Strict Dependency Injection

    You can add an ng-strict-di directive on the same element as ng-app to opt into strict DI mode:

    <!doctype html>
    <html ng-app="myApp" ng-strict-di>
    <body>
      I can add: {{ 1 + 2 }}.
      <script src="angular.js"></script>
    </body>
    </html>
    

    Strict mode throws an error whenever a service tries to use implicit annotations.

    Update #2

    Use Inline Array Annotation:

    Please can you show me based on my edit 3?

    app.component('environments', {
        ̶c̶o̶n̶t̶r̶o̶l̶l̶e̶r̶:̶ ̶f̶u̶n̶c̶t̶i̶o̶n̶(̶R̶e̶s̶t̶a̶n̶g̶u̶l̶a̶r̶)̶ ̶{̶
        controller: ["Restangular", function(Restangular) {
            this.$onInit = () => {
                Restangular.one('environments').get().then((response) => {
                    this.environments = response.environments;
                });
            }
        ̶}̶,̶
        }],
        template: require('./template.html'),    
    })
    

    From the Docs:

    Implicit Annotation

    Careful: If you plan to minify your code, your service names will get renamed and break your app.
