module.run() and $state.go() angularJS

Question

I might have some kind of missunderstanding. Im using angular ui router and i have the next issue:

I have the next State provider:

angular .module('MainApp') .config(['$stateProvider', '$urlRouterProvider', function ($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider ) {     $stateProvider         .state('register', {             url: "/",             abstact: true,             views: {                 "side-bar": {                     controller: "GetSideBarCtrl"                 },                 "page-body@register": {                     templateUrl: "/App/Views/WelcomePage.html"                 }             },         })         .state('register.Register', {             url: "Register",             views: {                 "page-body": {                     controller: "RegisterCtrl",                     templateUrl: "/App/Views/Register.html"                 }             },         })         .state('register.Login', {             url: "Login",             views: {                 "page-body": {                     controller: "LoginCtrl",                     templateUrl: "/App/Views/Login.html"                 }             },         })         //For registered and loged in users!     /* */         .state('main', {             url: "/:userId",            // abstact: true,             views: {                 "side-bar": {                     controller: "GetSideBarCtrl"                 },                 "page-body@main": {                   //  controller: "LoginCtrl",                     templateUrl: "/App/Views/MainPage.html"                 }             },         });     $urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/'); }]); 

And run function

angular .module('MainApp') .run(['$rootScope', '$state', '$cookieStore', 'principal', function ($rootScope, $state, $cookieStore, principal) {     var cookies = $cookieStore.get('user');     if (cookies) {         principal.Authenticate(cookies.split(' ')[0], cookies.split(' ')[1]);         $state.go('main', { userId: cookies.split(' ')[0] });     } else {         $state.go('register.Login');     } }]); 

Everything works fine, when cookies are present and authenication works without any problems but $state.go does nothing, i cant figure out why, can you please help and explain me...

Yep, as suggested it looks like $state.go() doesn't work correctly in module.run().

I found that putting the $state code in a $timeout works, e.g.

angular.module('MainApp').run($timeout, $state, ...) {      $timeout(function() {         $state.go('main');     });  }
