Why wont ngRoute now work and breaks all other Angular functionality?

I am trying to us ngRoute to inject HTML into my web page but it doesn't work.
I have the below in my main html document.
<main ng-view></main>
next i created a folder call views with two HTML files (news.html & sectors.html)
I have also included angular-route.min.js into my project correctly. All paths for all files are correct.
Next I set up my routes as below, but it renders a blank page and even breaks the rendering of any ng-includes I have implemented which previously worked. In addition, it also breaks all other Angular functionality like filtering. There are no errors in the console, it just seems that ngRoute wont work.
var app = angular.module('app', ['ngRoute']);
app.config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider){
$routeProvider
.when('/sectors', {
templateUrl: 'views/sectors.html'
})
.when('/news', {
templateUrl: 'views/news.html',
controller: 'primaryController'
}).otherwise({
redirectTo: '/sectors'
});
}]);
Any help welcome.

You can check templateUrl for the path to your html templates. Everything else seems correct.

Waypoints.js not working as expected with angular views

I am trying to apply some css animation to some of the elements in my views when they reach the top of the window (offset 70%) with the help of waypoints.js.
I've created a directive as shown below.
angular.module("myApp")
.directive("clWaypoints",function(){
return{
restrict:"A",
link: function(scope,element,attrs)
{
var wayp=new Waypoint({
element:element,
handler:function(direction){
if(direction=="down")
{
var animation = scope.$eval(attrs.clWaypoints).animation;
element.css('opacity', '1');
element.addClass("animated " + animation);
}
},
offset:'70%',
})
}
}
})
Below is my app.js file
angular
.module('myApp', [
'ngRoute',
])
.config(function ($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/', {
templateUrl: 'views/home.html',
controller: "mainCtrl"
})
.when('/about', {
templateUrl: 'views/about.html'
})
.otherwise({
redirectTo: '/'
});
});
Both the views contain elements which use the cl-waypoints="{animation:'fadeInUp'}" directive.
When the app is loaded on a browser, the animations work as expected, but when I navigate to another view and begin to scroll down the elements in that view are not animated. Anyhow if I refresh the page, it works just fine.
Looks like the page needs to be refreshed for waypoint.js to do its magic. Please let me know if there is a solution to this problem.
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks.

Was able to find a solution to this problem. Waypoint requires us to call a function (Waypoint.refreshAll()) every time we make changes to the DOM, in our case changing the view content.
Added an $viewContentLoaded event listener (in the parent controller) to call the method whenever the view changes.
$scope.$on('$viewContentLoaded', function(event){
$timeout(function() {
Waypoint.refreshAll()
},0);
});
Hope this helps others.

Angular Bootstrap is creating duplicate bootstrap modals

I have a simple modal that appears when the user enters a page, but it is creating two of them. I have looked through the app and there are not two calls to the modal.
Here is the controller for it:
angular.module('rokoApp')
.controller('FinanceCtrl', function($scope, $modal) {
$modal.open({
templateUrl: 'includes/modal.html',
controller: function ModalInstanceCtrl($scope, $modal,$modalInstance){
console.log('opened')
$scope.cancel = function () {
$modalInstance.dismiss('cancel');
};
}
});

will be much better if you give us an example of functional code in plunker or jsfiddle, because the problem could be in another place.
For example:
When we started creating an app with AngularJS usually we put ng-controller in a upper tag and write the first lines of our app. The problem is that some times when we added routing we forget remove the ng-controller and then the controller is executing twice. The first time with the configuration of the module and again with the processing of the html.
So the solution here is to remove the tag in the html if we use routing or delete the controller property of routing and keep the ng-controller in the html.
I will let you the two codes:

Angular-ngRoute: force ng-view contents, allow navigation afterwards

While using ngRoute, I want to have Angular configured so that the current contents of ng-view are left as the contents for the current route, and allow the user to navigate away to different routes, rendering their respective templates afterwards:
Plunker
HTML
<ul class="menu">
<li>view1</li>
<li>view2</li>
</ul>
<div ng-view>
<ul>
<li>Some</li>
<li>Soon obliterated</li>
<li>Content</li>
</ul>
</div>
JavaScript
angular.module('myApp', ['ngRoute'])
.config(function($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/view1', {
templateUrl: 'view1.html',
controller: 'View1Ctrl'
})
.when('/view2', {
templateUrl: 'view2.html',
controller: 'View2Ctrl'
})
.otherwise({
redirectTo: '/view1'
})
})
.controller('View1Ctrl', function() {
})
.controller('View2Ctrl', function() {
});
When the user first sees the page, I want him to see the following:
Note: Angular needs to be bootstrapped at this point, with directives functioning in this area.
Note 2: This content should be in the actual HTML of the page, not in a template or script tag.
Then, when the 'view2' link is clicked:
And then, when the 'view1' link is clicked:
My first thought was using $route.updateParams(newParams) but I think that's not really its purpose.
EDIT
I ended up using
//Server-side rendered code
myModule
.config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider){
$routeProvider.when('<# my current route #>',
{
templateUrl: '/server-static',
});
angular.bootstrap(myModule);
In app.js:
myModule
.config('$routeProvider', function($routeProvider){
$routeProvider.when('/my-client-routes',
{
templateUrl: '/my-template.html',
}); // etc.
How can I trick Angular into thinking that the contents of ng-view are the appropiate contents for the current entry route? Can I just cancel route resolution/ngView directive (or make it transclude) rendering for first load? Or if not possible, what's the preferred method to do this?
Thanks
EDIT: See this answer that proposes adding the contents of ng-view to $templateCache through a custom directive.

It's possible for templateUrl to be a function. In which case you can actually change the view based on some kind of state:
var initialized = false;
$routeProvider
.when('/view1', {
templateUrl: function(){
if(initialized){
return 'view1.html';
}
initialized = true;
return 'view-initial.html';
},
controller: 'View1Ctrl'
})
Here is a working Plunker based on yours.

The task you're asking help for can be achieved in a number of ways. #Josh offers a good one. Using $templateCache is another option. But, as you correctly said, these are tricks.
Correct and only recommended approach is to use dedicated template for a default route. You can specify it via external file, via template cache or even script tag, but it's much better, clear and easy to support.
If it's your own code - just choose any preferred way you like. If you want it to be shared with community, used as open-source or enterprise solution - I'd suggest to use the only recommended approach.
Or... look into ui-router )) . May be it's nested views support is the option you need.

Link to #ID element from another page in AngularJS

I've tried all the solutions presented here:
How to handle anchor hash linking in AngularJS
But none worked for me.
In my header.html I have a link: <a id="button" href="#/views/home#page"> Contact</a></li>
To an ID in home.html
When I am in /home it works, but when I am in another page it doesn't work.
I tried using ##page with no success.
Or putting this in app.js:
app.run(function($rootScope, $location, $anchorScroll, $routeParams) {
$rootScope.$on('$routeChangeSuccess', function(newRoute, oldRoute) {
$location.hash($routeParams.scrollTo);
$anchorScroll();
});
});
and customizing my link:
href="#/views/home/?scrollTo=page"
Can someone explain which files should I edit and how?
Edit:
I started from Angular-Seed
My app.js is:
'use strict';
// Declare app level module which depends on views, and components
angular.module('myApp', [
'ngRoute',
'myApp.view1',
'myApp.view2',
'myApp.training',
'myApp.faq',
'myApp.media',
'myApp.contact',
'myApp.home',
'myApp.apply',
'myApp.classes',
'myApp.version'
]).
config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider.otherwise({redirectTo: '/views/home'});
}]);
And in every view I have another js file like training.js which looks like:
'use strict';
angular.module('myApp.training', ['ngRoute'])
.config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider.when('/views/training', {
templateUrl: 'views/training/training.html',
controller: 'TrainingCtrl'
});
}])
.controller('TrainingCtrl', [function() {
}]);
It is configured based on angular-seed model.
So, when, I am in view /faq that has the partial header with the menu and all the links, how can I link to a specific ID in view /home?

I think that the problem is that you have the logic for scrolling to that hash in the $routeChangeSuccess and as the documentation says, this event is:
Broadcasted after a route dependencies are resolved. ngView listens
for the directive to instantiate the controller and render the view.
So the view is not rendered yet, therefore the DOM element with that id doesn't exist yet.
Try putting that logic in the onload event of the ngView directive instead.
I've created this plunker: http://plnkr.co/edit/S7bUT8iYY7UEti71X5Z8?p=preview that shows that if you add that logic into the onload event of the ngView directive everything works fine.
