Throw console error when model data not found

[irvinebroque]

Trying to debug the following situation (where I'm probably messing something up) would be easier with more verbose error handling in the console. In the scenario below, I know spellbinder's data-event is working as expected:

Instantiate new model

foo = new Backbone.Model(name: 'test name')

Render view for table, then render row view into table

class App.FooTableView extends Backbone.View
  template: @template('table')
  initialize: -> Spellbinder.initialize(@)

render: ->
  new App.FooRowView(el: '#foo-row').render()

Constructor for row

class App.FooRowView extends Backbone.View
  template: @template('row')
  model: foo
  initialize: ->
    Spellbinder.initialize(@) 

Model.get works! (yay)

<td><span><%= model.get('name') %></span></td>

data-bind="name" renders nothing, no error to help debug

<td><span data-bind="name"></span></td>

It's clear that spellbinder successfully identifies the data-bind in the template, but it's tough to tell why it's unable to find foo.name, especially since model.get('name') works.

btw - figured out the issue - I was declaring the model attribute in the constructor (since I was just working with dummy data) and in order for spellbinder to work, the model has to be passed when the view is created, i.e.:

render: ->
  new App.RowView(el: '#row', model: foo).render()
