AngularJS 1.8: $scope.$broadcast not triggering event in nested controller contexts
I'm not sure how to approach I'm working on a project and hit a roadblock. Quick question that's been bugging me - I am having trouble with event propagation in AngularJS 1.8. I have a parent controller that is supposed to broadcast an event to its child controllers, but it seems that the child controllers do not respond to the event. Here’s the setup: In my parent controller, I am broadcasting an event like this: ```javascript app.controller('ParentController', function($scope) { $scope.triggerEvent = function() { $scope.$broadcast('customEvent', { message: 'Hello from Parent!' }); }; }); ``` And in my child controller, I am trying to listen for that event: ```javascript app.controller('ChildController', function($scope) { $scope.$on('customEvent', function(event, data) { console.log(data.message); }); }); ``` I have confirmed that the `triggerEvent` function of `ParentController` is being called, and I can see that the `$broadcast` method is executed, but the `console.log` in `ChildController` does not output anything. I also checked that both controllers are properly instantiated in my HTML: ```html <div ng-controller="ParentController"> <button ng-click="triggerEvent()">Trigger Event</button> <div ng-controller="ChildController"></div> </div> ``` I have tried placing the `ChildController` in different parts of the DOM and ensured that it is correctly linked to the `ParentController`. I also checked for any scope inheritance issues, but everything seems to be set up correctly. Are there any common pitfalls or specific configurations that I might be missing that could prevent the event from propagating? Also, is there a better approach to handle communication between controllers in such scenarios? Any help would be appreciated! For context: I'm using Javascript on Ubuntu. Is there a better approach? This is happening in both development and production on Debian. I'm developing on Debian with Javascript. Any suggestions would be helpful.
