Injecting $http into angular factory($exceptionHandler) results in a Circular dependency

When I try inject $http into an overridden factory I get the error:

Uncaught Error: [$injector:cdep] Circular dependency found: $http <- $exceptionHandler <- $rootScope

AngularModule.factory('$exceptionHandler',  function ($http) {

any ideas how to resolve? if I inject using [], $http is undefined

as per an answer below I tried:

MyModule.config(function($provide, $http) {
    $provide.decorator("$exceptionHandler", function($delegate) {
        return function(exception, cause) {..

but I still get the circular error:

Uncaught Error: [$injector:cdep] Circular dependency found: $http <- $exceptionHandler <- $rootScope

Solution

  • Inject the $injector and then get the $http service from there. Something like this:

    AngularModule.factory('$exceptionHandler',  function ($injector) {
    var $http = $injector.get("$http");

    See https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/angular/lbFY_14ZtnU/discussion

    However, this will completely override the $exceptionHandler functionality provided by Angular. If you just want to add the server-side log to the existing functionality, see this question about augmenting $exceptionHandler functionality.
