URL doesn't change after changing ui-router state - angularjs

Question

I have followed the documentation and online tutorials to create my ui-router states however when I enter my state, the URL doesn't update. Same happens when I do $state.go('main.about-me'); for example. The state changes but not the URL. Is there something wrong with my config that I can't see clearly?
Will be thankful for any tips. Thanks.
'use strict';
angular
.module('myApp.config', ['ui.router'])
.config(routes)
.run(['$rootScope', '$location', '$stateParams', '$state', appRun]);
function routes($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
$stateProvider
.state('main', {
url: 'main',
abstract: true,
views: {
'': {
templateUrl: 'main/main.tpl.html',
controller: 'mainController as vm'
},
'nav-bar#main': {
templateUrl: 'main/nav-bar/nav-bar.tpl.html',
controller: 'navigationBarController as vm'
}
}
})
.state('main.home', {
url: '/home',
views: {
'content': {
templateUrl: 'home/home.tpl.html',
controller: 'homeController as vm'
}
}
})
.state('main.about-me', {
url: '/about-me',
views: {
'content': {
templateUrl: 'about-me/about-me.tpl.html',
controller: 'aboutMeController as vm'
}
}
})
.state('main.contact-me', {
url: '/contact-me',
views: {
'content': {
templateUrl: 'contact-me/contact-me.tpl.html',
controller: 'contactMeController as vm'
}
}
});
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('');
}
function appRun($rootScope, $location, $stateParams, $state) {
console.log('run the app');
console.log('$location', $location);
console.log('$rootScope', $rootScope);
console.log('$stateParams', $stateParams);
$state.go('main.home');
}
Inside my body I have this
<div ng-cloak>
<div ui-view class="content-container"></div>
</div>
