Navigation using AngularJS $routeProvider + OnsenUI ons.navigator.pushpage() - angularjs

Question

I'm working on a AngularJS + OnsenUI project, and I'm having problems with the navigation.
Let's say that I have a module:
angular
.module('app.home', ['ui.utils','ngRoute','ngAnimate'])
.controller('HomeCtrl', HomeCtrl)
.config(function($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/', {
templateUrl: 'path/to/home/template',
controller: 'HomeCtrl'
})
.when('/test1', {
templateUrl: 'path/to/template',
controller: 'TestOneCtrl'
})
.when('/test2', {
templateUrl: 'path/to/template',
controller: 'TestTwoCtrl'
})
.otherwise({
redirectTo: 'path/to/home/template'
});
});
In the HomeCtrl I'm supposed to (depending on the result of certain functions) navigate to either test1.html or test2.html. My problem is that I don't know how to link the routeProvider to the the ons.navigator.pushPage function.
This doesn't work:
var url = '/test1';
$scope.navigator.pushPage( url, { animation : 'slide' } );
This works:
var url = '/absolute/path/to/template';
$scope.navigator.pushPage( url, { animation : 'slide' } );
My question is what do I need to do so I don't have to write the absolute path to the template in the url variable? Apparently I'm missing out on something, but I can't figure out what.
Thanks in advance!

I think it's because the path used in $routeProvider is not the same type of that of pageUrl used in navigator.pushPage().
$routeProvider.when(path, route);
and
navigator.pushPage(pageUrl, option);
Path is like the pattern or string of your app url found in the browser address bar. For example, "http://localhost:8000/app/index.html#/test1". That's when you can refer to this in the routeProvider as "/test1". However, in the navigator.pushPage(), you will need to specify exact url to the page just like how you set ur templateUrl inside $routeProvider. In other words, pageUrl = route.
That's just from my understanding though.
