Raising errors from actions

1

I’ve been trying to get my head around this one. I created an action like this:

Contributionkeeper.RepositoriesController = Ember.Controller.extend({
  actions: {
    delete: function(repo) {
      Ember.$.ajax({ 
        url: '...', 
        success: function(data) { }, 
        error: function() { 
          //TODO: Raise error
        });
    }
  }
});

I want the application to navigate to an error substate. But I haven’t found a way to do so from my action. How can I fix this?

It turns out that right now, there’s no way to trigger the substate from within your application. I really wished that there was a way, but there isn’t.

To fix the problem I changed my code to look like this:

Contributionkeeper.RepositoriesController = Ember.Controller.extend({
  var controller = this;
  actions: {
    delete: function(repo) {
      Ember.$.ajax({ 
        url: '...', 
        success: function(data) { }, 
        error: function() { 
          controller.transitionToRoute('application-error');
        });
    }
  }
});

That is good enough for my application since I don’t want to disclose any specifics about the error. The details are logged on the server, so I have access. The user just needs a message that something’s up and that we’re looking into it. This route just does that :slight_smile:
