Angular 1.4 and using ngAnimate with JavaScript

Question

I'm trying to setup a ngAnimate .animation() script with Angular 1.4 but I am struggling with the basics as this should display an alert but it does not :

.animation('.animated', function () {
     // should display an alert here...
     alert('hello ?');
})

I must be missing something but can't figure out what. Here is a jsfiddle.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Animation is triggered using one of directives described here Docs. For example ngClass. Demo.

<div ng-app="MyApp">
    <div ng-controller="MyCtrl">
        <span ng-class="{animated: true}">Hello {{who}}.</span>
    </div>
</div>
