this than $onChanges later on #14359Description
Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?
A bug.
What is the current behavior?
Component controllers have constructors fired with a different this than $onChanges later on.
If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and if possible a minimal demo of the problem via https://plnkr.co or similar (template: http://plnkr.co/edit/tpl:yBpEi4).
- Open http://plnkr.co/edit/oeulkVsfau0HfkHTdyeI
- Open the console.
What is the expected behavior?
There should be no error.
What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?
The error is caused by the fact that the constructor is fired with a different this than the $onInit method later on. This is a bug, there should be only one instance of the controller.
Which versions of Angular, and which browser / OS are affected by this issue? Did this work in previous versions of Angular? Please also test with the latest stable and snapshot (https://code.angularjs.org/snapshot/) versions.
The current 1.x snapshot as well as the v1.5.x branch tip are buggy. It seems to work fine with Angular 1.5.3.
