Can't access $scope variables after changing view with $location.path - angularjs

Question

I'm trying to access data that is on the $scope on a view where the app lands after clicking a button but it seems as if after using $location.path(url) to do the redirection the APP cannot see a variable that exists on the $scope anymore.
Form with the button:
<form ng-submit="getBrokenProbes()">
<table class="table table-striped">
<tr>
<th>Bmonitor</th>
<th>Select Bmonitor</th>
</tr>
<tr ng-repeat="bmonitor in bmonitors">
<td>
<span>{{bmonitor.domainName}}</span>
</td>
<td>
<button class="btn btn-primary" ng-click="getBrokenProbes(bmonitor)">Request</button>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
Controller:
app.controller('logmeinValidationCtrl', ['$scope','$http', '$location', function($scope,$http, $location){
$scope.bmonitors = {};
$scope.brokenProbes = {};
$http.get('http://localhost/getBmonitors').success(function (data) {
$scope.bmonitors = data;
console.log($scope.bmonitors);
});
$scope.getBrokenProbes = function(bmonitor) {
let url = 'http://localhost/getBrokenProbes';
$http.post(url, bmonitor).then(function (response) {
$scope.brokenProbes = response.data.hosts;
console.log($scope.brokenProbes);
$scope.showBrokenProbes();
})
};
$scope.showBrokenProbes = function () {
$location.path('/logmeinValidationResult')
}
}]);
I'm trying to show that data in a different view but $scope.brokenProbes is not available in logmeinValidationResult.html (the page where I land after $location.path) so it just shows an empty table.
logmeinValidationResult.html
<table class="table table-striped">
<tr>
<th>Probe name</th>
</tr>
<tr ng-repeat="probe in brokenProbes">
<td>
<span>{{probe.description}}</span>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
New page controller:
app.controller('logmeinValidationResultCtrl', ['$scope', function($scope){
console.log($scope.brokenProbes); //This yields undefined
}]);

I) The variable $scope.brokenProbes belongs to the controller logmeinValidationCtrl where is defined...
In order to use it inside another controller, you should pass it - broadcast.
OR
II) Another (Better) solution is when the user gets redirected to logmeinValidationResult, you can call the API, get the data and assign to $scope.brokenProbes variable.
In that case,
your old controller should look like this:
app.controller('logmeinValidationCtrl', ['$scope','$http', '$location', function($scope,$http, $location){
$scope.bmonitors = {};
$http.get('http://localhost/getBmonitors').success(function (data) {
$scope.bmonitors = data;
console.log($scope.bmonitors);
});
$scope.getBrokenProbes = function(bmonitor) {
$location.path('/logmeinValidationResult/' + bmonitor); // Pass bmonitor to the result here so you can call the api with that parameter later on
};
}]);
And your here is how your new page controller should look like:
app.controller('logmeinValidationResultCtrl', ['$scope','$http', '$routeParams', function($scope,$http, $routeParams){
$scope.brokenProbes = [];
let url = 'http://localhost/getBrokenProbes';
let bmonitor = $routeParams.bmonitor; // Get passed bmonitor value from the route params
$http.post(url, bmonitor).then(function (response) {
$scope.brokenProbes = response.data.hosts;
console.log($scope.brokenProbes);
})
}]);
And don't forget to register route param bmonitor to your $routeProvider or whatever you use...
