View not updating after form submit - angularjs

Question

my ng-repeat is not updating after attempting to add an item to scope.
Here is my html:
<div class="col-lg-12">
<div class="panel-group" id="accordion">
<div class="panel panel-collapse panel-default" id="topPanel">
<div class="panel-heading" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#top-action-panel-body">
<h4 class="panel-title">
Collapsible Group Item #1
</h4>
</div>
<div id="top-action-panel-body" class="panel-collapse collapse">
<div class="panel-body">
<form class="ih_enterprise_api_stock_item_new form-horizontal form-stock-item-add" ng-submit="test()" ng-controller="InventoryAddCtrl" id="ihenterprise_logisticsbundle_stockItem">
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-sm-4 control-label control-label required" for="ihenterprise_logisticsbundle_stockItem_name">Name</label>
<div class="col-sm-8">
<input type="text" id="ihenterprise_logisticsbundle_stockItem_name" name="ihenterprise_logisticsbundle_stockItem[name]" required="required" maxlength="255" ng-model="formData.name" class="form-control form-control">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-sm-4 control-label control-label required" for="ihenterprise_logisticsbundle_stockItem_itemNo">Item no</label>
<div class="col-sm-8">
<input type="text" id="ihenterprise_logisticsbundle_stockItem_itemNo" name="ihenterprise_logisticsbundle_stockItem[itemNo]" required="required" maxlength="255" ng-model="formData.itemNo" class="form-control form-control">
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4 col-md-offset-4">
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-success" value="Tilføj">
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-12" ng-controller="InventoryListCtrl">
<div class="panel panel-default" style="color: black; text-align: left">
<div class="panel-heading">
<h3>Lager liste</h3>
</div>
<div class="panel-body table-responsive">
<table class="table table-condensed table-expanding">
</table><table class="table table-condensed table-expanding">
<thead>
<tr>
<th> </th>
<th>Id</th>
<th>Created At</th>
<th>Navn</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr ng-repeat-start="stockItem in stockItems" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#stockItem_{{stockItem.id}} " class="accordion-toggle">
<td>
<button class="btn btn-default btn-xs"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-eye-open"></span></button>
</td>
<td>{{stockItem.id}} </td>
<td>{{stockItem.created_at}} </td>
<td>{{stockItem.name}} </td>
</tr>
<tr ng-repeat-end="">
<td colspan="6" class="hiddenRow">
<div class="accordian-body collapse" id="package_{{stockItem.id}} ">
test
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Here is my code:
App.js
'use strict';
var app = angular.module('cmfApp', [
'ngRoute',
]);
angular.module('cmfApp.controllers', []);
InventoryRouting.js
angular.module('cmfApp').config(function($routeProvider){
$routeProvider.
when('/inventory', {
templateUrl: Routing.generate('ih_enterprise_user_dashboard_inventory'),
controller: 'InventoryListCtrl'
})
});
InventoryController.js
angular.module('cmfApp').controller('InventoryAddCtrl', ['$scope', '$http', '$timeout', function($scope, $http, $timeout){
$scope.submit = function() {
var postData = {
ihenterprise_logisticsbundle_stockItem: {
name: $scope.formData.name,
itemNo: $scope.formData.itemNo
}
}
$http({
method : 'POST',
url : Routing.generate('ih_enterprise_api_stock_item_new'),
data : $.param(postData), // pass in data as strings
headers : { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' } // set the headers so angular passing info as form data (not request payload)
})
.success(function(data) {
// the code you want to run in the next digest
$scope.$apply(function(data){
$scope.stockItems = $scope.stockItems.concat(data);
});
//console.log($scope.stockItems);
}).error(function(error) {
console.log(error);
});
};
$scope.test = function() {
console.log("here");
$scope.stockItems.push({
id: 1000,
name: 'potato',
created_at: '1111'
});
console.log($scope.stockItems);
}
}]);
Ignore the HTTP request, i was thinking it was a HTTP related issue, but it seems much more fundamental, as i attempted to just insert a plain object on submit.

You seem to be instantiating the InventoryListCtrl twice: Once in the route definition, and again in the HTML template. As a result, when you update the stockItems array, it's not updating the same array used in the view.
Try removing the ng-controller="InventoryListCtrl" from the template.
This will make InventoryListCtrl be the controller for the entire HTML template (b/c of the route definition). InventoryAddCtrl is used inside the template and it will inherit the scope of InventoryListCtrl. So when you update $scope.stockItems from either controller, you'll now be updating the same object.
