$cacheFactory causing my controller not to load when the app starts..bottom navbar visible just no data(works on web)

1

Hi guys! I’ve got an interesting issue here and i’m wondering if you all might be able to help me out.

I’ve got an application running that is using a ion-bar and ion-nav-view… in the first nav view i’m using an ng-repeat to run through an array return from an $http request…blah blah.

So here’s the issue! In order to persist the data once it’s been loaded already i implemented a $cacheFactory to store the data after the first time it’s loaded and check whether or not i already have it each time the view loads… ex:

if(fromCache == null){
	pullPosts(url);
}else{
	$scope.posts = [];
	sortAssessments(fromCache);
}

Now i’m certain the logic here is fine because if i click another view in my app…say view 2 the $http request fires and i’m returned the data and the view populates…AND if i then click on view 1 the same thing happens. From which point on the data is cached and i can move between the two views without re-requesting it from the server…I’m stumped as to why when the application first launches i’m being presented with an empty view… I can provide more of the code if you all need it…

Any help would be greatly appreciated :open_mouth: Thanks!

Update:
It’s hard to debug since this only happens on my device however i’m 100% sure this happens due to me calling the $cacheFactory objects when the controller first loads… this should be a problem because the $cacheFactories are created in the $rootScope and i’m only putting/getting from them when the controller loads… interesting.

Update: :frowning: After about 2 hours banging my head against the wall I realized that i was created the $cacheFactories inside of $ionicPlatform.ready()…this causes the controllers to crap out and gives the problems I explained above.
