Bindings on ObjectController - Ember.js

When you try adding a binding to an ObjectController it doesn't work.

App.FailController = Em.ObjectController.extend({
    content: null,
    myBinding: "App.router.myController" // <-- fails
});

Error:

Uncaught Error: assertion failed: Cannot delegate set('my', ) to the 'content' property of object proxy <.FailController:ember154>: its 'content' is undefined.

It tries adding it to the content property.

ObjectProxy delegates any call to set to the content property unless a property with the same name exists on the ObjectProxy instance. The simple solution is to define a property with the desired name prior to declaring the binding.

App.FailController = Em.ObjectController.extend({
    my: null,
    myBinding: "App.router.myController" // <-- works
});

Alternative solution:

App.FailController = Em.ObjectController.extend({
    content: Ember.Object.create(),
    my: function() {
      return App.router.myController;
    }.property('App.router.myController')
});

or better: 

App.FailController = Em.ObjectController.extend({
    content: Ember.Object.create(),
    my: Ember.computed.alias('App.router.myController')
});
