ion-nav-view does not fully support controllerAs syntax

[thaiat]

There are 2 flavours of controllerAs syntax for the ui-router.

This first one works with ion-nav-view:

$stateProvider
                .state('login', {
                    url: '/login',
                    templateUrl: 'login.html',
                    controller: 'loginCtrl as vm'
                })

but this second one does not work

$stateProvider
                .state('login', {
                    url: '/login',
                    templateUrl: 'login.html',
                    controller: 'loginCtrl',
                    controllerAs: 'vm'   <---- HERE 
                })

When switching back to ui-view both syntaxes work.

Were both syntaxes introduced in the same version of Angular (1.15 I believe)?

Both syntaxes should be supported, especially seeing as this style may become more prevalent moving towards Angular 2.0. I'll look more into this, thanks for pointing it out!

@drewrygh , i can't remember exactly in which version it started, but i believe it was in the same time.
I ve only been using the second flavor a few weeks ago and realise the issue when trying to migrate existing ionic code.

Greetings @thaiat!

I'm sorry, but my sensors indicate that this issue may no longer apply to recent versions of Ionic.

If you are still experiencing this issue, please feel free to reopen it by creating a new issue and provide the following information, so that I may assist you:

• Can you provide a detailed description of this issue?
• How would a robot go about replicating this issue?
• On which platform does this occur? (iOS, Android, all, etc.)
• On which platform versions does this occur? (Android 4.2, iOS 7, all, etc.)
• Is this an issue with the Ionic Framework or Ionic CLI?

Additionally, providing a codepen that replicates the issue is extremely helpful.

If you wish to get help using the framework itself, I recommended visiting the forum. There are many humans there who can offer sage advice.

Thank you for allowing me to assist you.

this issue is still happening
here is a repro codepen: http://codepen.io/thaiat/pen/zxPMbL

if you change line 16 to the commented part, it's working
The issue is related to views in state
