How To Navigate From A Login State To An Abstract Dashboard State?

Solution 1:

The behavior is right. You cannot transit to abstract state. Look at your example from plunker.

var dash = {
  name: 'dash',
  url: '/dash?ticker'var tags = {
  name: 'dash.tags',
  url: '?ticker',

You have an abstract state "dash" and you have a child state "dash.tags" which is not abstract. So you can transit only to child state.

In your app, you try transiting to an abstract state which is not possible. Abstract states are used if you want to have some basic state with common behavior (parent state). You cannot transit to such states but they can have some basic template, resolve functions... So, you have to remove abstract flag or create a child state.
