I would like to be able to access the url parameters in my run function and make actions based on those params. However, I was pretty surprised to see that ui.router's $stateParams object is empty in my run function. 

angular.module('app', ['ui.router'])
.run(['$rootScope', '$state', '$stateParams', '$location', function($rootScope, $state, $stateParams, $location) {
    $rootScope.$state = $state;
    $rootScope.location = $location;
    $rootScope.$stateParams = $stateParams;
    $rootScope.$on('$stateChangeStart', function(event, toState) {
      if (toState.name === 'main') {
      event.preventDefault();
      $state.go('main.child', {

        param: 1

      })
      }
    });
    console.log('$stateParams is empty!');
    console.log($stateParams);
    console.log($rootScope.$stateParams);
}])
.config(['$stateProvider', '$urlRouterProvider', '$locationProvider', function($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider, $locationProvider) {

    $stateProvider
        .state('main', {

            url: '',
            template: '<div>hey</div><div ui-view></div>'

        })
        .state('main.child', {

            url: '/:param',
            template: 'child state template'


        });
}]);

Is it possible to access the params accessed from $stateParams in the run function? Or are they only available in the config function? Why are they not accessible in the run function?

Thanks for any help.

It looks like you are using StateChangeStart event and you can access parameters in this event:

 $rootScope.$on('$stateChangeStart', function (event, toState, toParams, fromState, fromParams) {
//you code goes here
console.log(toParams);
}

I am using it to add some custom logic to parametrs (authentication redirects)
