Just use an inline function instead and you'll get rid of the problem. — Chrillewoodz

This error occurs in general if you misspeled the controller from your HTML view or your route definitions :

<div data-ng-controller="accountRegisterCtl"> <!-- WRONG -->
    // ui stuff ...
</div>

Here the accountRegisterCtl controller is called during the compilation step, but it didn't exists because its misspelled: accountRegisterCtrl is the correct controller name.

<div data-ng-controller="accountRegisterCrtl"> <!-- CORRECT -->
    // ui stuff ...
</div>

Or your controller.js is not injected in your index.html
