AngularJS error .success is not a function

Question

I have build a factory to handle the functions for my controller, but somehow the controller returns an error on one of the functions:

Error: Auth.getUser(...).success is not a function @http://localhost:8080/app/controllers/mainCtrl.js:10:1
...

I have no idea what's going on here, the rest of the functions seem to be working fine?

main controller:

angular.module('mainCtrl', [])
.controller('mainController', function($rootScope, $location, Auth) {
    var vm = this;
    vm.loggedIn = Auth.isLoggedIn();
    $rootScope.$on('$routeChangeStart', function() {
        vm.loggedIn = Auth.isLoggedIn();
        Auth.getUser()
            .success(function(data) {
                vm.user = data;
            });
    });
    vm.doLogin = function() {
        Auth.login(vm.loginData.username, vm.loginData.password)
            .success(function(data) {
                $location.path('/users');
            });
    };
});

See 'Deprecation Notice' from $http service documentation:

The $http legacy promise methods success and error have been deprecated. Use the standard then method instead.

You can learn more about these methods in the documentation about $q.
