'save' button

I can't seem to make the 'save' button work. Is the finished project uploaded somewhere? Or, am I missing something here: 

Blogger.NewPostController = Ember.Controller.extend({
    actions: {
        save: function() {
            var newPost = this.store.createRecord('post', {
                title: this.get('title'),
                body: this.get('body')
            });
            newPost.save();
            this.transitionToRoute('posts');
        }
    }
});

Thanks!

Hey Josefina,

I got stuck on this too and did some digging:

http://discuss.emberjs.com/t/ember-issue-with-1-8-0-beta-3-and-1-8-0-beta-4/6429

I updated my ember-data.js to the most recent version and it works fine now. I'm not 100% pleased with this solution as the instructor indicates that his code should work as long as we use the same library versions as him, but evidently that is not the case. I'm going to continue looking into it to see if I can get it to work using the Ember data version from the course.

Happy coding! Joe

Thanks, Joe. I rewatched the video to make sure I had my code right and I was getting "Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function" in the JavaScript Console until I updated the ember-data.js to the latest version on http://builds.emberjs.com/tags/v1.0.0-beta.11/ember-data.js.

I'm not sure why Beta 10 is causing an issue here, but I did make a mistake - I should have said to use Beta 11. Beta 10 has lots of problems. Sorry for the trouble!

Hi folks! I've been trying a few different versions of Ember Data to see if I can figure out the problems you're having, but I can't see to track them down. Would one or both of my mind putting your code on Github (or anywhere else I can access it) so that I can see what might be going wrong? Thanks!

I had the same problem. The ember-data.js update worked!

Thanks!

Hi all,

Same issue here, an error message saying "Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function". Beta 11 was unfortunately not fixing the problem. But updating to Beta 15 and including the ember-data.js.map file did finally solve the issue for me.

Despite the dependency difficulties, really quite a good course on Ember.js. Thank you for putting it together, Michael!
