$modalInstance.close(result) throws exception "Cannot read property 'value' of undefined"

[coolaj86]

I have a login modal that I close upon successful login and then immediately open the update account modal. When the update account modal is closed, it throws the exception:

Cannot read property 'value' of undefined

    function showLoginModal() {

      return $modal.open({
        templateUrl: '/views/login.html'
      , controller: 'LoginCtrl as L'
      , backdrop: 'static'
      , resolve: {
          mySession: function (Session) {
            return Session.get();
          }
        }
      }).result.then(function () {
        return $timeout(function () {
          console.log('trying with a timeout');
          return $modal.open({
            templateUrl: '/views/account-new.html'
          , controller: 'AccountNewCtrl as A'
          , backdrop: 'static'
          , resolve: {
              mySession: function (Session) {
                return Session.get();
              }
            }
          }).result;
        });
      });
    }

After some user interaction and http requests this is called as per usual in the AccountNewCtrl:

$modalInstance.close(result)

@coolaj86 we won't be able to assist you without a minimal reproduce scenario using http://plnkr.co/

I have the same problem, created a Plunker to demonstrate:

This happens when you try to close a dialog that has already been closed.
In your example @c-johnson, you don't keep track of dismissal of the dialog: http://plnkr.co/edit/XrjNiZ?p=preview.
In any case, a 'double close' shouldn't throw an error

Apparently, this issue has already been logged and fixed: #1972.
But there's no official release containing the fix yet.

Closing as it is fixed by #1972
