You can find detailed information about modern Ember actions here: [Component State and Actions - Components - Ember Guides](https://guides.emberjs.com/v3.28.0/components/component-state-and-actions/)

But essentially, the message you’re seeing means that you need to change something like

```hbs
{{d-button action="blah"}}

```

to something like:

```hbs
{{d-button action=(action "blah")}}

```

If you can share a link or snippet of your code, I’m sure we can help out with some more specific instructions
