Ember Select not firing on Change

Question

I know this is a common problem, but I can't get an Ember.Select view to fire on its value changing. I'd either like to update the selectedInvitation based on the selection in the drop down, or call an action that will perform this behavior.

I've tried variations on Binding Action in Ember.Select and haven't had any luck.

models/uservisit.js

Models.Invitation = DS.Model.extend({
  sameSeriesOpenInvitations: DS.hasMany('uservisit', {
    async: true
  })
});

controllers/user/invitations_controller.coffee

Visitdays.InvitationsController = Ember.ArrayController.extend
  selectedInvitationObserver: (->
    debugger
    if @get('selectedInvitation')
      @get('selectedInvitation')._data.event
  ).observes('selectedInvitation')

  actions:
    setSelectedInvitation: (invitation) ->
      debugger
      if invitation
        @set 'selectedInvitation', invitation

invitations.emblem

.input-group.full-width
   = view Em.Select contentBinding=selectedInvitation.sameSeriesOpenInvitations optionValuePath="content" optionLabelPath="content.event.startTimeFormatted" value="selectedInvitation" class="form-control"

First of all try using selected=selectedInvitation instead of value. Maybe it already solves the issue — ahmed.hoban, Apr 09 '15 at 02:11
Thanks @ahmed.hoban but this doesn't work, with or without quotes — Michael, Apr 09 '15 at 03:17

Thanks to @ahmed.hoban who got me in the right direction. I didn't need an action or anything. Since I wanted to deal with the object and not just the id, I really only needed to change the Ember.Select view's selection attribute to the object I wanted to observe change:

.input-group.full-width
  = view Em.Select content=selectedInvitation.sameSeriesInvitations optionValuePath="content.id" optionLabelPath="content.visit.startTimeFormatted" selection=selectedInvitation class="form-control"

your welcome, as your upvote would be :) Ah i see now, there was a typo. Sorry. — ahmed.hoban, Apr 09 '15 at 09:54
