I am trying to develop a form using Ember.js / Ember Data – here is the version information:

DEBUG: ——————————-

DEBUG: Handlebars : 1.3.0

My main handlebars template is defined as:

<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="profiles">
<div class="row">
    <div class="content-header">
        <h1 class="box-title">
            <%= displayName %>
            <div class="pull-right">
                <button class="btn bg-olive btn-sm" style="margin-top:-5px;" {{action "save"}}>Save Profile Changes</button>
                <button class="btn bg-orange btn-sm" style="margin-top:-5px;" {{action "cancel"}}>Cancel Changes</button>
            </div>
        </h1>
    </div>
</div>
<div class="row" style="margin-top:10px;">
    <div class="col-md-3">
        {{view "personalInformation"}}
    </div>
    <div class="col-md-3">
        {{view "contactInformation"}}
    </div>
    <div class="col-md-3">

When I transition into this route the first time, it works perfectly well. The moment I transition to the home / other route, and try to transition back to this route, Ember throws an assertion failed error:

Uncaught Error: Assertion Failed: calling set on destroyed object” (ember.js:3722)

What am I doing wrong?

Solution

Here are 2 things that I spotted out from your code.

First thing:

You have your ember route mixed together.
And you should be clear about singular/plural name convention in routing.

Portal.ProfilesRoute refers to set of of profiles.
Portal.ProfileRoute refers to 1 individual profile.

Because you define both within Portal.ProfilesRoute. First time click Ember will automatically routing assume you are return same model, thus doesn’t even call your route. But then when you try to navigate back which is when the model hook actually called your routing, and end up with the error.

second thing
kind of related to thing 1:

'setupController': function(controller, model) {
        controller.set('model', model);
    },

    'model': function(params) {
        return this.store.find('profile', params.userId);
    }

either one but not both. for example, use setupController if you want to do something with the model. 

'setupController': function(controller, model) {
            //do something to the model if you want to 
            // maybe change some attribute 
             model.set('name','blah blah');
            controller.set('model', model);
        },

otherwise just do 

'model': function(params) {
        return this.store.find('profile', params.userId);
    },

but yes, as mentioned in thing 1, this should be in singular route which is ProfileRoute

Hope it helps!
