Route actions don't know of Ember.Evented

application.controller.js

import Ember from 'ember';

export default Ember.Controller.extend({
  appName:'Ember Twiddle',

  handleMyEvent: Ember.on('myEvent', function() {
    console.log('handling myEvent at the controller');
  }),
});

application.route.js

import Ember from 'ember';

export default Ember.Route.extend({
  handleMyEvent: Ember.on('myEvent', function() {
    console.log('handling myEvent at the route');
  }),
  
//  actions: {
//    myEvent() {
//      console.log('handling myEvent explicitly at the route');
//    }
//  }
});

application.template.hbs

<h1>Welcome to {{appName}}</h1>

<button {{action 'myEvent'}}>send <code>myEvent</code></button>

<p>This code demonstrates that actions do not seem to behave quite like Ember.Evented events.</p>

<p>Clicking the button will trigger an action, and this goes off unhandler (see error on console). This is despite two attempts to handle it (at the controller and route) with <code>Ember.on</code>.</p>

<p>The commented out code at the route does the job when present though.</p>
