With Angular 1.6.0 (only)

The path /#/login is transformed by #!#%2Flogin

Same for us, roll backed to angular 1.5.8 and angular router to 0.3.1. What a waste of time... if only we had fixed our package.json dependencies versions...

Anguar 1.6.0 is prefixing the URL hash part with a ! character. I not sure, but I guess, this is making a wrong URL encoding. The solution so far If you want to use [email protected] with [email protected] is removing the prefix in the config block with $locationProvider.

angular.module('app', ['ui.router'])
    .config(function($stateProvider, $locationProvider) {

      // remove ! hash prefix
      $locationProvider.hashPrefix('');

     // ui-router code ...
    });

This is working for me right now.

This is a breaking change introduced in Angular 1.6.0. See: https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/migration#migrating-from-1-5-to-1-6

Changing the default $location hash-prefix to '!', as the previous empty string default was unconventional and confusing.

Revert to previous behavior using the instructions provided by @mbarakaja
