Hi.I am tying to save a post object.

```
savePost(newPost){
newPost.save().then(()=>transitionTo('posts.index'));

```

I get back the error in the title." transitionTo is now defined".I have tried curly braces syntax too. And it is not only after “save()”.I can’t do transition.Always this error.Please send help ^-^

I suppose, the `savePost(newPost)` is an action in a route handler (in a route file). A simple `this` is missing.

```auto
actions: {
  savePost(newPost) {
    newPost.save().then( () => this.transitionTo('posts.index') );
  }
}

```

`transitionTo` is an Ember.Route method: [api doc](http://emberjs.com/api/classes/Ember.Route.html#method_transitionTo)

So, the `this` refers back to the Ember.Route class.
