If you create a directive which has a template like so:
<div ui-codemirror ui-codemirror-opts="opts"></div>
In your link function, you can setup $scope.opts and would expect this to take effect.
However, it does not, because the method here will get newValues === oldValue. This means the initial digest will set no options.
The reason this happens is the following code inside angular's $digest:
watch.fn(value, ((last === initWatchVal) ? value : last), current);
On initial digest, last === initWatchVal, so you will receive value as both parameters and never set any codemirror options until the second iteration/change.
A workaround for now seems to be to set the options as some empty object, then set the real object in the next iteration/digest.
