Broadcast runs once but the event is called 2 times

Question

I have the following "broadcast" inside a "Directive":

console.log('a emitir...');
$rootScope.$broadcast('olamundo', params);

In my "controller" I have the following code:

$scope.$on('olamundo', function (event, args) {
    console.log('a escutar...');
    //aqui vai o código
});

My "olamundo" event is running 2 times, the phrase "listening..." appears 2 times on the console (due to the "console.log" in the code above).

In the "Directive" where "broadcast" is issued, the phrase 'to emit...' appears once feathers.

There is no other "broadcast" with the same name, because the 'olamundo' event is running 2 times?

Answer 1

This may be an indication that you actually have two instances of your controller.

This may occur if you are mentioning the controller as part of the ui-router (or $stateProvider, if you are using ui-router) Also in the HTML document.

If this is the case, remove one of the two (the configuration of the ng-router/ui-router or the HTML entry.)
