satellizer then not called after authentication - angularjs

Question

I'm very new to angular, so my knowledge is based on tutorials and even then I don't succeed.
I need to authenticate using a google account. That works, I get a token where my api calls could be authorized with. But after login the pop up window should dismiss and I should be redirected to the homepage. This doesn't work.
this is my controller
angular.module('MyApp').controller('loginController', ['$scope', '$auth', '$location','loginService', loginController]);
function loginController($scope, $auth, $location, loginService) {
$scope.authenticate = function(provider) {
$auth.authenticate(provider).then(function(data) {
loginService.saveToken(data.data.token);
console.log('You have successfully signed in with ' + provider + '!');
$location.path('http://localhost/#/home');
});
};
};
in app.js I have my configuration. this is not my work but a friend who is an intern as wel as me, he is responsible for a mobile application, where he uses the same function to get his token, and it works.
authProvider.google({
clientId: CLIENT_ID,
redirectUri: 'http://localhost:3000/api/users/signIn'
});
$authProvider.storage = 'localStorage'; // or 'sessionStorage'
$authProvider.loginRedirect = 'http://localhost/#/home';
This is the controller in node where the url is redirected to (google developer console)
router.get('/signIn', function(req, res) {
//console.log(req);
var code = req.query.code;
oauth2Client.getToken(code, function(err, tokens) {
if (!err) {
https.get("https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/tokeninfo?access_token=" + tokens.access_token, function(response) {
// Continuously update stream with data
var body = '';
response.setEncoding('utf8');
response.on('data', function(d) {
body += d;
});
// Data fetched
response.on('end', function() {
var parsed = JSON.parse(body);
// Check if client_id is from the right app
if (parsed.issued_to == '343234242055-vd082vo0o8r8lmfvp1a973736fd98dht.apps.googleusercontent.com') {
User.getGoogleId(parsed.user_id, function(err, user) {
if (err) {
res.status(500).send({
message: 'not authorized app'
});
}
// No user returned, create one
if (!user) {
// Request user info
oauth2Client.setCredentials(tokens);
plus.people.get({
userId: 'me',
auth: oauth2Client
}, function(err, plusUser) {
if (err) res.status(500).send({
message: 'not authorized app'
});
else {
// Create new user
User.create(plusUser.name.givenName, plusUser.name.familyName, (plusUser.name.givenName + "." + plusUser.name.familyName + "#cozmos.be").toLowerCase(), parsed.user_id, function(err, newUser) {
if (err) res.status(500).send({
message: 'not authorized app'
});
else {
res.statusCode = 200;
return res.send({
response: 'Success',
id: user._id,
firstName: user.firstName,
lastName: user.lastName,
email: user.email,
token: tokens.access_token
});
}
});
}
});
} else {
// Return user
res.statusCode = 200;
return res.send({
response: 'Success',
id: user._id,
firstName: user.firstName,
lastName: user.lastName,
email: user.email,
token: tokens.access_token
});
}
});
}
// if not right app, return unauthorized response
else {
res.status(500).send({
message: 'not authorized app'
});
}
});
});
}
});
});
So I login, I get asked to give permission to the application to use my account info, I get a json response where I can see my name, email and token, and that's it

Even within the company where I work, no one could find an answer. So I came with a solution myself. I don't use satellizer anymore.
.when('/access_token=:access_token', {
template: '',
controller: function($window, $http, $location, $rootScope) {
var hash = $location.path().substr(1);
var splitted = hash.split('&');
var params = {};
for (var i = 0; i < splitted.length; i++) {
var param = splitted[i].split('=');
var key = param[0];
var value = param[1];
params[key] = value;
$rootScope.accesstoken = params;
}
console.log(params.access_token);
var json = {
Token: params.access_token
};
$window.localStorage['token'] = params.access_token;
$http.post('http://localhost:3000/api/users/signIn', json).success(function(data, status) {
console.log(data);
}).error(function(err) {
console.log(err);
});
$location.path("/home");
}
/*controller: 'createNewsFeed',
templateUrl: 'homepage.html'*/
}).
So redirect the page by itself. Because the authentication works on the backend side, I can get a access token, which is the only thing I really need for future use of my rest api. I defined a route where, after receiving the json with the token, my browser is manually redirected to with $window.location. So when that page is loaded (not visible for the user, it goes too fast to notice) I analyse the token, save the token, analyse authentication, when that is successful I manually redirect to the homepage.
