Angular $location.path() not redirecting on all pages

Question

I am trying to redirect users who are not logged in to my application to a login page. My code is currently working on all pages except for one.

app.run(['$rootScope', '$location'], function($rootScope, $location){
    if(!loggedIn){
        var returnTo = $location.path();
        $location.search("ReturnTo", returnTo);
        $location.path("account/login").replace();
    }
}

So far I know that on the page in question the value of $location.path is being updated, but it is not being reflected in my browser's search bar and I am seeing the original page view as opposed to the login page view.

I have seen a lot of suggestions about using $rootScope.apply() but I have not gotten any of them to work either.

Answer 1

Just do $location.url("account/login");
