I know this sounds stupid  but don t see it on here yet     I had this error caused by forgetting the closing bracket on a function and its associated semi-colon since it was anonymous assigned to a var at the end of my controller   It appears that many issues with the controller  whether caused by injection error  syntax  etc   cause this error to appear

include controller dependency in case of third type   var app   angular module  app     controller          first type to declare controller     this doesn t work well  var FirstController   function  scope         scope val    First Value         Second type of declaration  app controller  FirstController   function  scope         scope val    First Controller            Third and best type  angular module  controller      controller  FirstController   function  scope         scope val    Best Way of Controller

Check the name of your angular module   what is the name of your module in your app js   In your TransportersController  you have   angular module  mean transporters     and in your TransportersService you have   angular module  transporterService         You probably want to reference the same module in each   angular module  myApp

I had done everything right other than setting controller in  stateProvider  I used filename rather than variable name    Following code is wrong   formApp config function  stateProvider   urlRouterProvider          stateProvider          state  management                 url    management               templateUrl   Views management html               controller   Controllers ManagementController js                and this is the right approach   formApp config function  stateProvider   urlRouterProvider          stateProvider          state  management                 url    management               templateUrl   Views management html               controller   ManagementController                Make sure you noticed      controller   ManagementController    And for those who are curious about my controller file ManagementController js  it looks like the this   formApp controller  ManagementController      scope     http     filter     state  function scope  http  filter  state        scope testFunc   function             scope managementMsg     Controller Works Fine                  For those who want a quick-start angular skeleton for above example check this link https   github com zaferfatih angular skeleton

I ran into this issue when I had defined the module in the Angular controller but neglected to set the app name in my HTML file  For example    lt html ng-app gt    instead of the correct    lt html ng-app  myApp  gt    when I had defined something like   angular module  myApp       controller       and referenced it in my HTML file

The same problem happened with me but my problem was that I wasn t adding the FILE NAME WHERE IS MY FUNCTION js   so my file html never found where my function was     Once I add the  file js  I resolved the problem    lt html ng-app  myApp  gt       lt body ng-controller  TextController  gt                                  lt script src     file js  gt  lt  script gt       lt  body gt   lt  html gt

The error will be seen when your controller could not be found in the application   You need to make sure that you are correct using values in ng-app and ng-controller directives

I got this same error when I included the entire controller file name in the Routes like this   app config function  routeProvider         routeProvider       when                 templateUrl   home html           controller   mainController js               when   portfolio              templateUrl   portfolio html           controller   mainController js               When it should be   app config function  routeProvider         routeProvider       when                 templateUrl   home html           controller   mainController               when   portfolio              templateUrl   portfolio html           controller   mainController               Angular takes certain things you name like the app and controller and expounds on them in directives and across your app  take care to name everything consistently and check for this when debugging

This happened to me when I have multiple angular modules in the same page  I encountered this error when I used partial views  One partial view had    lt script src    Scripts Items js  gt  lt  script gt   lt div ng-app  SearchModule  gt       lt div ng-controller  SearchSomething  class  col-md-1  gt           lt input class  searchClass  type  text  placeholder  Search    gt       lt  div gt   lt  div gt    Other had   lt div ng-app  FeaturedItems  ng-controller  featured  gt       lt ul gt           lt li ng-repeat  item in Items  gt   item Name   lt  li gt       lt  ul gt   lt  div gt    I had them in same module with different controller and it started working

There s also another way this could happen   In my app I have a main module that takes care of the ui-router state management  config  and things like that  The actual functionality is all defined in other modules   I had defined a module  angular module  account     services       that had a controller  DashboardController  in it  but had forgotten to inject it into the main module where I had a state that referenced the DashboardController   Since the DashboardController wasn t available because of the missing injection  it threw this error

I have made a stupid mistake and wasted lot of time so adding this answer over here so that it helps someone  I was incorrectly adding the  scope variable dependency  was adding it without single quotes   for example what i was doing was something like this  angular module  myApp      controller  akshay    scope    where the desired syntax is like this  angular module  myApp      controller  akshay     scope

I had the same error in a demo app that was concerned with security and login state   None of the other solutions helped  but simply opening a new anonymous browser window did the trick     Basically  there were cookies and tokens left from a previous version of the app which put AngularJS in a state that it was never supposed to reach   Hence the areq assertions failed
