Angular response interceptor does not work for RestAngular - angularjs

Question

I have the following code:
!(function(window, angular){
'use strict';
angular.module('interceptor', ['settings']).
config(function($httpProvider, $injector){
var $http,
interceptor = ['$q', '$injector', function ($q, $injector) {
var error;
function success(response) {
var $http = $http || $injector.get('$http');
var $timeout = $timeout || $injector.get('$timeout');
var $rootScope = $rootScope || $injector.get('$rootScope');
var LOADER_CONF = LOADER_CONF || $injector.get('LOADER_CONF');
if($http.pendingRequests.length < 1) {
$timeout(function(){
if($http.pendingRequests.length < 1){
$rootScope._loading = false;
}
}, LOADER_CONF.SUSPEND_ON);
}
else{
$timeout(function(){
if($http.pendingRequests.length > 0){
$rootScope._loading = true;
}
}, LOADER_CONF.SUSPEND_OFF);
}
return response;
}
function error(response) {
var $state = $state || $injector.get("$state");
var $timeout = $timeout || $injector.get('$timeout');
var $rootScope = $rootScope || $injector.get('$rootScope');
var LOADER_CONF = LOADER_CONF || $injector.get('LOADER_CONF');
$timeout(function(){ $rootScope._loading = false, LOADER_CONF.SUSPEND_OFF});
return $q.reject(response);
}
return function (promise) {
return promise.then(success, error);
}
}];
$httpProvider.responseInterceptors.push(interceptor);
});
})(window, window.angular);
a basic interceptor to toggle a spinner.
The interceptor works just fine for http requests that fetch partials, and internal angular stuff, but does not work for RestAngular requests (which is a wrapper for $http).
Any help is much appreciated.

it's possible Restangular interception isn't working because of promises. try using $q like so:
var interceptor = ['$rootScope', '$q', function ($rootScope, $q) {
return {
'request': function(config) {
console.log("request successful");
return config || $q.when(config);
},
'requestError': function(rejection) {
console.log("request error");
return $q.reject(rejection);
},
'response': function(response) {
console.log("response successful");
return response || $q.when(response);
},
'responseError' : function(rejection) {
console.log(rejection.status+" something bad happened");
$rootScope.errors = ["Unable to connect to server "+rejection.config.url];
return $q.reject(rejection);
}
};
}];
