AngularJS 1.5 error bootstrap IBM Mobilefirst

Question

I seem to have problems combining an MFP hybrid (no cordova) application and angular 1.5. The same application with angular 1.4.9 works fine, but if I switch to angular1.5 then i get this error:

Error: [$injector:modulerr] Failed to instantiate module ng due to:

anyone a clue what it could be?

Answer 1

I had the exact same problem when I upgraded to angular 1.5.0.
The problem turned out to be with a custom implementation of Function.prototype.bind that we had in our code, it looks like this interfered with the one defined in angular.

Take at the second line on your error callstack

I think worklight.js may have an implementation of prototype.bind which is incompatible with the one in angular (see https://code.angularjs.org/1.5.0/docs/api/ng/function/angular.bind)
