Resolves only inherit from immediate parent

[ribizli]

I've found a strange behaviour which might be an issue. See this plunker:
http://plnkr.co/edit/hPX3GE12wZkbGBKYCWwF

Resolve works when steping A -> B -> C, but if we go from A -> C directly, first we get 'Unknown provider: AProvider' and later 'Circular dependency found'.

A dirty solution for this is to re-resolve A in 'a.b' state again:

Is this really a bug?

EDIT: Rename bug for clarity

BUG! This should definitely work.

Is there any updates on this issue? It's really annoying having to redefine the resolve objects at every child state.

ui-router project seems to be dead frankly. no commits for almost a month

I really hope not since our app relies heavily on it and there isn't any really good alternative to it.

+1 This bug has been a real headache.
@ribizli thanks for the workaround.

Here is a fork of ribizli's broken plunker with a patched version of ui-router that solves the error: http://plnkr.co/edit/mUqyPK?p=preview

I will submit a pull request later today after adding some tests and hopefully get some feedback from the project owners.
