UI-Router: URL changes, but view is not loaded - angularjs

Question

I have the following code for my router:
.config(['$stateProvider', '$urlRouterProvider', '$locationProvider', function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider, $locationProvider) {
$stateProvider
.state('main', {
url: '/',
templateUrl: 'templates/main.html',
controller: 'MainCtrl'
})
.state('login', {
url: '/login',
templateUrl: 'templates/login.html',
})
.state('signup', {
url: '/signup',
templateUrl: 'templates/signup.html',
controller: 'SignupCtrl'
})
.state('userEdit', {
url: '/user/edit',
templateUrl: 'templates/user/edit.html',
controller: 'UserEditCtrl'
})
.state('workouts', {
url: '/workouts',
templateUrl: 'templates/workouts/index.html',
controller: 'WorkoutsCtrl'
})
.state('workouts.show', {
url: '/:id',
templateUrl: 'show.html',
controller: 'WorkoutCtrl',
onEnter: function() {
console.log('this is stupid');
}
})
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/');
}])
My issue is with the workouts.show state. I have this link:
<div class="" ng-repeat="workout in workouts track by workout._id">
<hr>
<a ui-sref="workouts.show({id: workout._id})">{{ workout.shortURI }}</a>
<p>{{ workout.description }}</p>
<ul class="exercise-list">
<li ng-repeat="exercise in workout.exercises">{{ exercise }}</li>
</ul>
<hr>
</div>
When I click on the link with ui-sref"workouts.show({id: workout._id})" the url changes to the proper format, and adds the id dynamically, but the view does not load. It just stays on the same page.
I have seen several other questions that are similar, but none of the accepted solutions have worked for me, and I have spent too long on this now.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Answer 1

I had similar issue.
You must have a ui-view in your "workouts" state, so that your "workouts.show" will render as a child.
Hope this helps.
