Angular 1.2 rc3 ngRepeat doesn't work with promises

[jeffwhelpley]

In my controller, I do something like:

$scope.posts = PostsModel.find();  // make ajax call and return promise

And then I use posts in my template in an ngRepeat, 3 blank elements are rendered in my web page BEFORE the promise is resolved. After the promise is resolved, blank elements remain in the rendered page. When I, however, do this:

PostsModel.find()
    .then(function (data) { $scope.posts = data; });

It works just fine. I may be wrong, but I thought Angular is supposed to hold off rendering until a promise is resolved.

No longer does this by default. You can turn this behavior back on manually in the short term, but it is only really there to ease migration.

$parseProvider.unwrapPromises(true)

Oh. Interesting. I was not aware, but this explains the issue pretty well:
