TextField View Helper - Ember.Handlebars.helpers.view.call is not a function

Question

I'm working on upgrading my grunt CLI based ember 1.8 app to 1.10 with HTMLbars & have made progress, but my view helpers and components don't work; such as date-input, ember-select, bing-map, product-item. So I'm starting with the date-input view helper which returns this error now - "Ember.Handlebars.helpers.view.call is not a function". This input control is rendered via {{date-input... which is associated to 'DateInputView' in views/date-input.js which extends Ember.TextField. It's also associated to helpers/date-input.js and Ember.Handlebars.makeBoundHelper(). The function inside returns Ember.Handlebars.helpers.view.call() which results in the error. I read something about how maybe my template compiler isn't the new one required or maybe a Component should be used rather than a View Helper, but it seems like there should be a simple fix for the View Helper, don't you think?

Answer 1

Development of this viewHelper was done by another party and the purpose of the callback making a call to viewHelper is a mystery. Regardless, the use of viewHelpers is being discouraged going forward and I've re-worked the date-input as a Component.
