Angular bootstrap modal causing strict-di error, not sure why

Question

Weird problem, using Angular UI bootstrap modal I have no issues at all with Angular 1.3 beta 16, however if I enable ng-strict-di mode I get the following error:

Error: [$injector:strictdi] function($scope, $modalInstance) is not using explicit annotation and cannot be invoked in strict mode

The weird thing is this is not in a directive or service, it's just the script behind one of my pages. I know I'm making a controller there but...well I'm not sure at this point. Here is the code that generated the error:

            //=================
            //MODAL PROMPTER
            //=================

            var Prompt = function(title, prompt) {
                var modalInstance = $modal.open({
                    template: '<div class="modal-header"><h3 class="modal-title">' + title + '</h3></div><div class="modal-body"><p>' + prompt + '</p></div><div class="modal-footer"><button class="btn btn-primary" ng-click="ok()">OK</button><button class="btn btn-warning" ng-click="cancel()">Cancel</button></div>',
                    controller: ModalInstanceCtrl,
                    size: 'sm'

                });

                modalInstance.result.then(function(result) {
                    console.log('Modal OK');
                }, function() {
                    console.log('Modal dismissed');
                });
            };

            var ModalInstanceCtrl = function($scope, $modalInstance) {
                $scope.ok = function() {
                    $modalInstance.close(true);
                };
                $scope.cancel = function() {
                    $modalInstance.dismiss(false);
                };
            };

            //end of modal
            //==================

            //call it immediately to see the error     
            Prompt('myTitle', 'myMessage');

I'm not sure how or why I'm getting the error. If I turn off strict-di it works perfectly. Any ideas?

You need to manually advertise your dependencies for the controller since you have ng-strict-di enabled.

function ModalInstanceCtrl ($scope, $modalInstance) { //or var ModalInstanceCtrl = function(...

  $scope.ok = function () {
    $modalInstance.close(true);
  };

  $scope.cancel = function () {
    $modalInstance.dismiss(false);
  };

};

ModalInstanceCtrl.$inject = ['$scope', '$modalInstance'];
