Angular 1.1.4 causes uiDatepicker to return TypeError

[DServy]

For those upgrading to 1.1.4

uiDatepicker throws a TypeError when switching between routed templates without a datepicker element in it. Works fine in 1.1.3, so its probably something related to https://github.com/angular/angular.js/commit/fe8d893b839e9b14e3e55a3a0523cc1e6355bdd5 that added feature.

Console logging right before the element.datepicker('destroy'); seems to show that the directive is called again when switching between routed templates, however, in Angular versions < 1.1.4 this behavior is not noticed. You can see http://localhost/urlhere#!/188/1/tna:755:50 is the new template that is trying to render, however this template has no datepicker methods on it.

Full error below:

I'm not going to have time to deal with this - and it is probably out of date anyway. Sorry.

datepicker currently works with newer versions of angular 1.3+
