ngSwitch directive leaks when inside transcluded content

[suedama1756]

ngSwitch leaks when inside transcluded content. This is because it associates its data during the compile phase of the template.

element.data(NG_SWITCH, cases);

The template is then cloned for rendering, and as the clone doesn't include the jQuery expando property a leak occurs when the rendered content is removed.

can you please create a simple example on plnkr.co ?

[suedama1756]

OK, will do. I've created a fix (which feels like a real workaround). The fundamental issue however is that any directive that uses the data() API during the compile phase can leak if it is then cloned within a transclude.

Busy this morning, but should be able to get samples out this afternoon (UK time)

I am wondering whether ng-switch should be rebuilt to use directive controllers in any case, rather than inheritedData as it does right now?
