Here's a normal ES5 function in my Angular code which works:
app.run(function($templateCache){ $templateCache.put('/some','thing') });
I wanted to convert it to ES6 arrow function
app.run($templateCache => $templateCache.put('/some','thing'));
but it gives the error
Uncaught Error: [$injector:unpr] Unknown provider: '/some'Provider <- '/some'
http://errors.angularjs.org/1.4.6/$injector/unpr?p0='%2Fsome'Provider%20%3C-%20'%2Fsome'

Are ES6 arrow functions incompatible with Angular?
EDIT: I thought perhaps Angular isn't able to infer the name $templateCache
and so unable to inject it but then I logged it to console and it does show it correctly:
app.run($templateCache=>console.log($templateCache));
// =>
// Object {}
// destroy: function()
// get: function(key)
// info: function()
// put: function(key, value)
// remove: function(key)
// removeAll: function()
// __proto__: Object
Correct. Your version of AngularJS is not compatible with arrow functions that make use of $injector.
This is mainly because AngularJS 1.4.6 makes use of (Function).toString
, which does not start with function(
for arrow functions, at least in Firefox:
>var a = () => 5
function a()
>a.toString()
"() => 5" // not "function a() {return 5;}"
AngularJS supports the arrow notation from 1.5.0 onwards.
