childViewEvents not working when triggering from a child rendered in a region

[posti85]

Actual behavior

I've done a simple example to ilustrate the issue: when the button b1 is pressed, the parent view doesn't listen the event (the 'button1Pressed' isn't shown in the console). However, when the button b2 is pressed, it does.

const LayoutView = Marionette.View.extend({

    template: _.template('<div class="region"></div>'),

    regions: {
        region: '.region'
    },

    childViewEvents: {
        button1Pressed: 'button1Pressed',
        button2Pressed: 'button2Pressed'
    },

    button1Pressed() {
        console.log('button1Pressed');
    },

    button2Pressed() {
        console.log('button2Pressed');
    }
});

const RegionView = Marionette.View.extend({

    template: _.template(
        `<button class="b1">Event</button>
         <button class="b2">Trigger</button>`),

    events: {
        'click .b1': 'button1Pressed'
    },

    triggers: {
        'click .b2': 'button2Pressed'
    },

    button1Pressed() {
        this.trigger('button1Pressed');
    }
});

const app = new Marionette.Application({
    region: '#main'
});

app.start();

var layoutView = new LayoutView();

var regionView = new RegionView();

app.showView(layoutView);

layoutView.showChildView('region', regionView);

Expected behavior

It should work the same way form button b1 and button b2.

Environment

1. Marionette version: 3.0.1
2. Backbone version: 1.3.3
3. Additional build tools, etc:

That's intentional.

@posti85 Why do you expect events and triggers to act the same way?

Actually the issue he's describing is that childViewEvents on a Layout doesn't work with trigger It does however work with triggerMethod, but that has been fixed for v3.2 here: #3247

Yeah, that is! Thank you for the clarification and the fix!
