Binding {{input type=view.type}} in view template no longer works with 1.7.0-beta.5

[digitalbreed]

I am using Ember views to wrap input fields into a more sophisticated DOM structure. When rendering my view, I pass the input field's type (text/password) as an attribute, like {{view MyView type="password"}}, and use it in the template, like {{input type=view.type ...}}.

This worked fine in 1.7.0-beta.4 but broke in 1.7.0-beta.5.

Likely related to #5333.

I can confirm this behavior as well. I had to revert to 1.7.0-beta.4 to restore my fancy form components functionality.

We need to look into this this weekend. To track down what is happening (and fix) before 1.7.0 final ships.

Looks like this made it into 1.7.0 final. Here is a simpler case: just doing {{input type=someProperty}} doesn't work while {{input type="string"}} does.

@rwjblue are you on this?

[rwjblue]

@wagenet - yes

[rwjblue]

Should be fixed by #5470.

[digitalbreed]

So this will go into 1.7.1?

[rwjblue]

@digitalbreed - Yes, but we have one other thing that is needed first (a fix for the alias descriptor laziness) which @stefanpenner is working on.

You can use the latest stable builds to get this change for now.

Use http://builds.emberjs.com/release/ember.js or http://builds.emberjs.com/release/ember.prod.js (for the bare asset). Or specify the stable channel in Bower via the following:

  "ember": "components/ember#release"
