IE8: View not rendering | angular.min.js, Line: 84, Column: 219 | SCRIPT445: Object doesn't support this action | apply?function()

Hi,

I'm under the gun here... we went with AngularJS under the notion it was supported in IE8. When I run the app we are getting

SCRIPT445: Object doesn't support this action
File: angular.min.js, Line: 84, Column: 219

I am using the latest build of AngularJS. I don't think IE8 likes the apply function.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

return e.apply ? function () {
var a = [];
q(arguments, function (b) {
a.push(d(b));
});
return e.apply(b, a);
} : function (a, b) {
e(a, null == b ? "" : b);
};

Same problem here, I've been googling for hours, implemented all the recommend solutions. Nothing worked, so I tried the homepage of AngularJS. It turns out that I get the exact same error there...
I'm testing with Windows 7, IE11 in IE8 document mode. The error is:
SCRIPT445: Object doesn't support this action
File: angular.js, Line: 9222, Column: 7

Ya you're right I get the same error there as well...

FYI I tested in versions 1.2.4 and 1.2.5

Can you please provide an example that reproduces this issue via plunker or similar?

angularjs.org was mentioned already, but if we had a plunker or fiddle with tiny app that also suffers from this issue in IE8 it would be faster for us to create a fix.

Hi, did you test on real IE8?
It seems to work there...

I had this issue and fixed it with

var console = console || {};

Not sure if specific to me or not.

[tbosch]

The line that is referred to is the check whether console.log has the apply function (so we can use it later).
However, this check throws the mentioned error, even before calling the apply function (tested in the dev console of IE11 in IE8 mode, just enter console.log.apply without a function call).
We have that test for .apply there especially for windows. We could extend it with a try catch when we do the test itself, as the mentioned error is catchable.
