Angular JS promise not returning value

Issue

I am new to Angular JS and I tried to load this JS in one of the files (cshtml extension), it did alert the message 'testing 1' but it did not alert 'testing 2'. Can I know whats the issue here. Your kind guidance would be a great help to me. From what I understand is that when the page loads, it will run the $q.all correct ? But somehow, it's not working

var app = angular.module('myApp');
alert("Testing 1");
app.controller('ListController', function ($scope, $q, $http,$timeout) {
   
    function doTask1() {
        var deferred = $q.defer();
        deferred.resolve("Testing 2");
        return deferred.promise;
    }
    console.log("ListController instantiated");
    $q.all([
        doTask1(),
        
    ]).then(function (value) {
        
        alert(value);
    });
    
});

Inside the cshtml file, (All of the angular dependencies files are in the "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml" ), there is no error in the console log hence I knew that Angular has successfully been imported in

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
    Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}
<div ng-controller="ListController as listCtrl" class="margin-top-80px">

</div>

@section Scripts{

    <script src="~/Scripts/controllers/News/ListController.js"></script>
}

This is the output. It alerts the message "testing 1"

But the console log is empty

Solution

The likely cause is that the controller is not being instantiated. For debugging purposes, include a console log to indicate instantiation of the controller:

var app = angular.module('myApp');
alert("testing 1");
app.controller('ListController', function ($scope, $q, $http,$timeout) {
   
    function doTask1() {
        var deferred = $q.defer();
        deferred.resolve("testing 2");
        return deferred.promise;
    }

    //**********DEBUGGING
    console.log("ListController instantiated");

    $q.all([
        doTask1(),
        
    ]).then(function (value) {
        
        alert(value);
    });
    
});
