2023 UPDATE

route.transitionTo was deprecated in favor of using the router service. See the answer from Andrey below for links.

Original POST and Answer

Ember logs a warning that transitionTo has been deprecated in favor of transitionToRoute. However, ember currently has route.transitionTo and controller.transitionTo. Only controller.transitionTo has a deprecation notice on the API and in the source code.

Is the notice that route.transitionTo is deprecated a bug, or is the idiomatic method of transitioning changing to this.controllerFor( routename ).transitionToRoute().

ANSWER: NOT DEPRECATED

Turned out I had a mixing using this.transitionTo that was supposed to be involved in route's only but was getting used in a controller, which made it harder to notice.

from a controller you should use controller.transitionToRoute (specifying that you want to transition a route) from a route you should use route.transitionTo and it makes sense that route is implied due to the context.

Yes, this.transitionTo in a route has been deprecated.

See:

• RFC
• Official deprecation notice

The modern alternative is:

import Route from '@ember/routing/route';
import { inject as service } from '@ember/service';

export default class TodoRoute extends Route {
  @service router;

  beforeModel() {
    this.router.transitionTo('todo');
  }
}

transitionTo should only throw a warning in a controller, You're most probably using transitionTo in some controller somewhere.

From within routes:

this.transitionTo('someRoute');

From within controllers:

this.transtionToRoute('someRoute');
