AngularJS location.path not working

Question

this has been posted many times but I'm still not having luck with this:

$rootScope.$on("$stateChangeError", function(event, toState, toParams, fromState, fromParams, error) {
  if (error && !error.authenticated) {
    $location.path('/login');
    console.log('new path: ' + $location.path());
  }
});

My app will in fact not go to /login, yet the console.log will return a value of /login. I've tried the $apply trick without luck mentioned in other threads but this is a very simple app at this point, no third party integrations where angular needs some additional help via $apply. Is there a variant to $location.path() needed when used within the context of $rootScope, or listening for $stateChangeError?

I'm sure this is something simple and I'm just not seeing it.

Not enough context to speculate about why it's not working. You would need to provide a way for people to reproduce it, please see stackoverflow.com/help/mcve. Emphasis on minimal, often you'll solve the problem yourself while trying to produce a minimal example. — ivarni

I failed to mention I'm using ui.router and so switching to $state.go('login') seemed to make it work. Next time I will make sure to post a plunker to get something reproducible and perhaps solve my own problem :)
