Loading template not found. Naming convention issue.

[dheerajbhaskar]

Expectation:

Per the readme.md, templates are found this way: if the route name is game.loading, then the template GameLoading is tried to load first.

Problem

When I do this, I get this error:

As the error message suggests, gameLoading for template name works perfectly fine. This might be a trivial issue but this breaks the project naming convention for templates. What readme.md says holds good for Router.route declarations like Router.route('/', {name: 'game.main'});

This is breaking for me and is very reproducible:

Code:

My loading template:

<template name="gameLoading">
    <div id="game_loading">Game loading...
    </div>
</template>

My controller:

GameController = RouteController.extend({
  loadingTemplate: 'game.loading',
  // some other stuff below
});

Okay, this might seem obvious in hindsight, does the loadingTemplate: 'game.loading' mean to declare the name of the loading template verbatim? if I declare it to be GameLoading then it works fine according to the naming conventions.

@dheerajbhaskar yeah, i'm not sure the template namespacing/translation was intended to work on the loading template... but it does seem logical to have that functionality
