_renderNode is null

[poplevente]

Hey Guys,

i'm trying to get up to date an older package, updated in the bower.json ember from 2.3.1 to the latest version 2.18.2.
but i have a scheduledRevalidate like

export default function needsRevalidate(view){
view._renderNode.isDirty = true;
view._renderNode.ownerNode.emberView.scheduleRevalidate(view._renderNode, view.toString(), 'rerendering via needsRevalidate');
}

but the _renderNode coming from the component (this), is not found anymore. it's null.
tried to look back and seems to be dissapeared somewhere between version 2.9 and 2.10.

does anyone know a solution to overcome this and do the actual revalidate? (maybe another way?)

thanks!
