ngMessages not working

cc @Calendee @bottleboy

I’m trying to use the ng-messages for my form validation as follows:

<form name="userForm">
  <div class="field">
    <label for="emailAddress">Enter your email address:</label>
    <input type="email" name="emailAddress" ng-model="data.email" required />

    <div ng-messages="userForm.emailAddress.$error">
      <div ng-message="required">
        You forgot to enter your email address...
      </div>      
    </div>
  </div>
</form>

I have included the angular-messages library after the ionic bundle and declared ngMessages as a dependency on my main module but i still get this error:

PS: ionic version 1.3.11, angular 1.3.15, angular-messages 1.3.15

What could be the cause of this?

The Ionic version i specified was of the cli( :flushed: ), my ionic lib version is v1.0.0-beta.13, changing or updating the ionic lib version, seems to have solved this problem.

check this out for update instructions:
