Cannot subscribe to model outside of route

[rasteiner]

Using DerbyJS.

Inside of server.js,after creating the store and attaching all the express middleware, this snippet doesn't work for me:

var model = store.createModel();
model.subscribe('foo', function() {
});

This crashes the server with a redis exception:

Error: Connection in subscriber mode, only subscriber commands may be used

Is this normal? The documentation says:

If you would like to get or set data outside of the app on the server, you can create models directly via store.createModel().

this is more of a debugging question rather than an issue with the library. As such could you please use Stack Overflow and tag it with racer and derbyjs?
When you do so could you please include a minimal example to reproduce. You are correct that this should work so its likely something else is going on.

I'm just recently starting to encourage people to use SO, and we haven't officially announced it. you can also ping us in the gitter chatroom or on the mailing list with the SO link: http://derbyjs.com/resources

Offtopic: Think it's a very good idea to use SO for all kind of derby (and so on) questions.
