emberjs: how to trigger a custom event in a View

I’ve created a jsfiddle to demonstrate the issue. WHen you click in the view (on the text) you will see in the console that the view receives the click. But when I create a custom event and trigger it, its not received in the router:

App.IndexView = Em.View.extend({
    click: function(e) {
        console.log("CLICK");
        this.get("controller").send("doStuff");
}
});

App.IndexRoute = Em.Route.extend({
    ....
    doStuff: function(e) {
       alert("Do stuff") ;    
    }
}); 

Here is a complete working example too http://jsfiddle.net/jeanluca/9Xasr/6/

Any suggestions ?

Cheers

You are calling doStuff() of the controller for the App.IndexView, but you define doStuff inside the Route. You should move it into App.IndexController:

App.IndexController = Em.Controller.extend({
    doStuff: function(e) {
       alert("Do stuff") ;    
    }
});

On the other hand, if you want the route to receive the event:

<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="navigation">
    <span {{action "doStuff}}>Sidebar</span>
</script>

App.IndexRoute = Em.Route.extend({
    //...
    events: {
      doStuff: function(e) {
         alert("Do stuff") ;    
      }
    }
});
