Adapter assignment changed

[mrova]

After update to version 1.5.1 all adapter assignments are no longer working for me.

<div ui-scroll-viewport="ui-scroll-viewport" class="coach_notes-msgs aacomment-wrap">
  <div class="coach_notes-msgs-inner">
    <div ui-scroll="item in MyDatasource" padding="0.5" buffer-size="25" start-index="1" adapter="vm.adapter" class="conversation_msg"></div>
  </div>
</div>

So in controller I was accessing it through this.adapter since controller was assigned to vm variable.
Now it's available through $scope.$parent.vm.adapter.

Is that expected behavior?

Is this commit causing it?

the original intention for the adapter access was to look it up starting from the scope associated with the viewport - this is how all other attributes work. As I was working on implementation of the adapter on controller syntax I discovered that for adapter only the lookup point is the scope associated with the scroller itself. So yes, I considered it to be a bug and fixed it to implement the expected behavior. I think in your situation it would be best to use the adapter on controller syntax
