How to catch the promise on close? about angular-bootstrap-lightbox

According to this plunk http://plnkr.co/edit/fOlMrJh0hN8oLDMVxk9s?p=preview

It looks like closing a modal resolves the error part of the promise.

instance.result.then(function (result) {
   //Does nothing
},function(result){
   //This gets called
});

To add to Tyler's answer: In UI Bootstrap, that promise is resolved when instance.close() or $scope.$close() is called and rejected when instance.dismiss() or $scope.$dismiss() is called. The intended use is you call close() on the click event of an OK/Save button that is supposed to change something, and everything else that a user does to close the modal (press Esc, click outside the modal, click the ×, or click a Cancel button) is a dismiss action instead. See their example in the link.

So if you don't call close() anywhere because you're not changing anything in the lightbox, then the modal is always dismissed and you only need the rejection handler for the promise. To handle both close and dismiss, you can do this:

instance.result['finally'](function (result) {
  // ...
});
