Restangular all("customers").getList() does not return result

Question

I started using Restangular to send RESTful requests from my AngularJS app. I have a REST service deployed on http://localhost:20080/v1/customer which produces JSON with customer information.

When I debug AngularJS app it hits a breakpoint in the back-end REST service, however in the browser console it always logs "Failed to find customers with status code 0". Moreover, I never hit the breakpoint in the function that I register as setResponseExtractor.

I also don't see any errors in the console.

When I open http://localhost:20080/v1/customer in the browser I get the following response:

[{"customerInfo":{"name":"My Name","email":"My Email"},"id":"6ca43d0f-94a8-36e8-af3d-963584573d6d"}]

My Restangular code is as follows:

var customerModule = angular.module('customer-module',
            ['restangular' ]).config(
            ['RestangularProvider', '$httpProvider',
                function (RestangularProvider, $httpProvider)
                {
                    RestangularProvider.setBaseUrl('http://localhost\\:20080/v1');
                    RestangularProvider.setResponseExtractor(function (response, operation, what) {
                      return response;
                    });
...

customerModule.controller('CustomerCtrl',
    [ '$scope', 'Restangular', function ($scope, Restangular)
    {
    var baseCustomers = Restangular.all("customer");
    $scope.customers = baseCustomers.getList().then(function (result) {
        console.log("Got customers", response.status);
    }, function (response) {
        console.log("Failed to find customers with status code", response.status);
    });

Thoughts?

The problem turned out to be with accessing REST services running on a different port than my AngularJS app.

I am moving this thread to AngularJS mailing list - "Problems with a basic $resource.get() call"

I'm the creator of Restangular.

You also don't have to add the responseExtractor to the config if you're just returning the response. That's what it does by default.
