angular.module('myApp')
  .controller('pancakeController', ['$scope', '$window', function($scope, $window) {

    $scope.panCakes = [];

    $scope.removePancake = function(index) {

      if($window.confirm('are you sure?')) {
        $scope.panCakes.splice(index, 1);
      } else {
        $scope.panCakes.splice(index, 1);
      }
    };

}]);

myApp is already defined in another file. I'm using angular.module('myApp') to grab a reference to it.

Trying to use window.confirm() to confirm the user before deleting a panCake but the confrim box does not popup in Chrome 37.0.2062.94 but does work in Chrome Canary. I'm using the AngularJS $window object, but using regular window.confirm does not work either. Is there something that I'm missing in my code or is just a bug in that particular version of Chrome?

• javascript
• angularjs

• 2 What about omitting $window? Just confirm("are you sure?") – Collin Henderson Commented Sep 10, 2014 at 18:39
• @CollinHenderson the whole point of use $window, and in general any other injected dependency, is that your controller is not bound to any function. With $window injected you can create test that validate your controller logic, without it you can't. – le0diaz Commented Sep 28, 2015 at 16:16

The most probable cause is that you have at some point checked the little checkbox saying that you don't want to see any more alerts/confirms/prompts from this page.

_{(Among other solutions, closing the tab and reopening the page in a new tab should restore alerts/confirms/prompts.)}

I am working on the same version of chrome as you are and the above code was not working in the fiddle as you had syntax error in the definition of the angular.module

It should be

angular.module('myApp',[])

Instead of

angular.module('myApp')
