so basically when you use DefineMap you need to pass it into the ViewModel field not the viewModel field on the component definition
no idea why
and when I wa susing map I had to create an instance of the view model manually
like

@RALifeCoach
I am using DefineMap and I am passing it to ViewModel. And experiencing a whole new exception being thrown
Leath Cooper
@IcculusC
viewModel: new ViewModelMap()
because you're using attr
attr doesn't exist with DefineMa
p
Christopher Oliphant
@RALifeCoach
Most of the references to attr are not being used. The key line is this.viewModel.playerList = playerList
Leath Cooper
@IcculusC
does the view model exist when you use ViewModel rather than viewModel
if you log it out
Christopher Oliphant
@RALifeCoach
It crashes loading the component - so I can’t tell
Leath Cooper
@IcculusC
:(
Christopher Oliphant
@RALifeCoach
I will instantiate it outside the component and see what I get
Leath Cooper
@IcculusC
wish I could help more but I'm not knee deep in the code like you haha
Christopher Oliphant
@RALifeCoach
okay - you have helped some
thanks for your time
Leath Cooper
@IcculusC
any time
I'm here trying to learn 3.0 too

Christopher Oliphant
@RALifeCoach
It’s working!!
Leath Cooper
@IcculusC
lol what did you do
Christopher Oliphant
@RALifeCoach
I found an error in one of my sub-maps
Leath Cooper
@IcculusC
ah
Christopher Oliphant
@RALifeCoach
that and changing viewModel to ViewModel seems to have done the trick
Leath Cooper
@IcculusC
yeah that viewModel and ViewModel thing is confusing, there's an issue open to add a warning if you use the wrong one so hopefully that will get implemented
Leath Cooper
@IcculusC
can you try something for me
seeing the same error in two environments
Christopher Oliphant
@RALifeCoach
sure, how can I help?
Leath Cooper
@IcculusC
hmm
one sec
nevermind not sure how to do this efficiently lol
Christopher Oliphant
@RALifeCoach
okay
Leath Cooper
@IcculusC
I'm like 100% sure that this binding syntax is completely broken but nobody else seems to notice lol
so I just built a test project in a completely fresh environment and got the same issue
Christopher Oliphant
@RALifeCoach
I have found that sometimes they are too busy to listen and at other times I get an amazing amount of help
Leath Cooper
@IcculusC
not their fault
but usingthe syntax you're using for events nothing ever gets called, and using the syntax from can-stache-bindings docs it just breaks
Christopher Oliphant
@RALifeCoach
my events get called
Leath Cooper
@IcculusC
oh I'm dumb
so the events part probably works, but the stache binding to viewmodel functions definiteyl doesn't
Christopher Oliphant
@RALifeCoach
I haven’t tried binding stache to helpers in 3.0
Leath Cooper
@IcculusC
not helpers, helpers are a different thing
just defining a function on the viewmodel and then binding it with ($click)="functionCall()"
