@lhorie Leo, would you mind providing a jsFiddle / plunk with the reproduce code? What is the AngularJS version we are talking about here?

Oh, I think I understand what is going on. Essentially you are bumping into the same issue as:
#1044

Seems like you are trying to do a query method that should return an array but your back-end returns something that is not an array. With $resource you need to make sure that the type of data returned is the same as the expected type (array or object) in the $resource definition.

Closing this one for now, please post something on the mailing list if you need further help with using $resource.

OK, had to clean up your jsFiddle a bit to see what is going on: http://jsfiddle.net/f6DEQ/7/

As suspected your get action doesn't expect an array but your back-end returns an array. So you either need to specify isArray on your action level as described here: http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ngResource.$resource or have your back-end return an object. Not sure what you are expecting as a result so hard to advice more.

Anyway, it sounds more like a general question about AngularJS usage and not a bug report / feature request. As such would be better asked on the mailing list (https://groups.google.com/group/angular) or the IRC (#angularjs) channel. The mailing list is very active and people there will be happy to help.
