Query params not updated by transitionTo/replaceWith during active transition

[jesenko]

When entering a route, a call to transitionTo/replaceWith does not update query params when called prior to setupController hook.

Example:
http://jsbin.com/merivu/5/
clicking About should set thing qp to transitioned

[andrewbranch]

Could this be the underlying cause?

Keep in mind that if the arguments provided to transitionTo or link-to only correspond to a change in query param values, and not a change in the route hierarchy, it is not considered a full transition, which means that hooks like model and setupController won't fire by default, but rather only controller properties will be updated with new query param values, as will the URL.

transitionTo with query params works when doing a full transition, but in @jesenko’s example, theoretically “only controller properties will be updated” but the controller doesn’t exist yet.

@jesenko can you provide an updated example (reproduction of the issue) using a current release of Ember.js or the LTS release (2.4.6) ?

@andrewbranch @jesenko @mmun @wagenet is this still an issue, perhaps we should close or create a new reproduction of this, what do you think?

hey @pixelhandler this is still a "bug", I reproduced the error in this ember twiddle, I used v3.4.3:

@jesenko, could you please comment what is your use case for this? Maybe we can find a different way to do what you want?

@arnaldo2792 thanks for creating the reproduction :)
