Carousel animation behaviour inconsistent after setting active state

[DanielTibbing]

Bug description:

After setting active slide state to a different index it will animate to that slide not using the intended animation behaviour

Link to minimally-working plunker that reproduces the issue:

Clicking on one of the a-tags will reproduce the issue, it does also behave differently if you have switched to e.g slide 3 using the bootstrap arrows and then use the a-tag

Version of Angular, UIBS, and Bootstrap

Angular: 1.5.0

UIBS: 1.2.4

Bootstrap: 3.3.5

@DanielTibbing, what exactly is the behavior you are expecting?

[DanielTibbing]

@icfantv I would expect it to slide in from the correct direction.

E.g. I'm on slide 1 and tell it to go to slide 3 it would slide from right to left, just the same animation as it does if I press the arrow for going to the next slide. And vice versa if I'm on slide 3 and tell it to go to slide 1 it should slide from left to right like it does by pressing the previous arrow

Ok, we'll look into this. I know there are some issues in ng-animate but off the top of my head, I don't think that's the issue here.

[DanielTibbing]

I found the issue, in the $watch of 'active' you set "currentIndex = index;" before you run "self.select(slides[index]);", moving it down after it makes it work

I can't check more thoroughly at the moment, but please feel free to submit a PR (with tests).

I can confirm this issue. The animation direction is incorrect when navigating slides via setting the active property.
