Emberjs: transitionToRoute in the same route with different model value

Question

I have an Ember application composed from 3 routes:

1. router.route('territory', { path: 'localhost/app/territory/:tid' });

2. router.route('aggregator', { path: localhost/app/territory/:tid:/aggregator/:aid' });

3. router.route(territory, { path: 'localhost/app/territory/:tid/aggregator/:aid/item/:iid' });

the possibles transition are from territory to aggregator, from aggregator to item, and from item to a sub item. The sub item use the same route (the 3rd), just changing the iID value in the model of route.

I had created an action that allows the user to move into a particular route with some logic and at the end run the command:

model={
    tid: "ttt"
    aid: "aaa"
    iid: "iii"
}

destination = 'item'; //the name of item route

controller.transitionToRoute(destination, model);

If I'm in the item route and I want to move to an other item, the URL will update, but not the content of the page. Obviously if I refresh the page with the generate URL the content will update.

Where is the problem? in the transition method that is Deprecated, or i have to use something different?

IMPORTANT: I'm using EmberJS - V1.0.0-RC.1

Answer 1

Is not a bug is just a normal situation in emberjs because every route have model and setupController. The model function is used to retrive asynchronously from WS or Data module the necessary information (is a RSVP.Promise). When is complete the information will be passed to setupController function, where will be possible set properties of the controller connected with the view of current route. Every time that i change the value of path but not the route, only setupController will be called. To conclude, in my case, the problem was just an organisation problem of code.
