Sidenav slide animation not working with ui-router

[jws305]

I am having an issue getting the slideout effect with the sidenav component when using ui-router. If I disable the router, the nav slides out as expected but when the router is used, the backdrop fades in but the sidenav just appears.

Version using ui-router

Same example but without the router
http://plnkr.co/edit/0V60iLs5Auayb8Tt0HQu

Library versions:

• angular 1.4.1
• angular-material 0.10.0
• ui-router 0.2.15

Does anyone else have issues with sidenav and ui-router?

I am. I get the same behavior. I don't get any animation, and I am also not getting a backdrop. The "ng-enter" never gets removed from the backdrop (I assume because the animation is not firing), so the backdrop, although positioned correctly is transparent.

UPDATE: Seems like all animations may be broken somehow? FAB Toolbar animation is broken too, but I have not investigated further.

Found some time today, so I look into this problem. Not sure if this is a problem or not but whenever the sidenav is shown of remove, the library will add .md-closed-remove and .md-closed-add respectively. Both this class have transition duration set to 0s. So, I work around this by adding the following css to my stylesheet.

.md-sidenav-left.md-closed-add,
.md-sidenav-left.md-closed-remove {
    transition: 0.2s ease-in all;
}

Where .md-sidenav-left is the class identifier for my sidenav node and I like ease-in as my transition timing function.

Not sure if this helps. Cheers!

Perhaps this issue is related to #4246?

[lscordilis]

@endyjasmi Thanks, man. That's a suitable work around until this is patched. The latest Angular build breaks the animation, as pointed out in #4246

[endyjasmi]

Glad that it helps.

Cheers

Still not fixed. Shows no animation nor backdrop.

    "angular": "~1.4.7",
    "angular-material": "master",
    "angular-ui-router": "~0.2.15",

Again, works fine without ui-router.
