Support Fastboot

Note from @alexlafroscia: Basic support has been added in #75, but I want to keep this issue open until we can add Fastboot testing to our automated testing setup. Until then, things should work but we can’t be sure, please make a separate issue with any problems you run into!

Note from @alexlafroscia (10/12/2016): There is actually ways to test Fastboot now, so we have the tools to add that and close this issue:

• Add tests that verify ember-ajax works in Fastboot
• Add test for header parsing (#162)

An addon to help with running the tests in Fastboot can be found here. Example usage can be found here.

Versions:

• node 5.7.0
• ember-cli 2.4.2
• ember-ajax 0.7.1 or 2.0.0-beta.2 (or the current master branch)

Steps to reproduce:

$ ember new fastboot-test
$ ember install ember-cli-fastboot
$ ember install ember-ajax@2.0.0-beta.2

Inject and get the ajax service somewhere. The following error gets printed to the console once the browser enters a route with the ajax service in use: (NOTE: The error triggers as soon as I try call .get('ajax') to get the service.)

$ ember fastboot --serve-assets
version: 2.4.2

I tried to fix this by adding

"fastbootDependencies": [ "url" ]

to my package.json without success.

[alexlafroscia]

Thanks for reporting. This might take some time to address, but supporting Fastboot is important to us and is definitely something we’ll be working on in the very near future.

[alexlafroscia]

Yeah, I suppose this should have been closed by #75. We claim “basic”, almost “experimental” support at this point because we have no way to actually run the automated testing against the Fastboot environment to ensure that things work exactly the way they should. I’m hesitant to claim official support at this point without having tests run against Fastboot as part of our CI.

Edit: I added a note to the issue itself to link to that PR and explain the current Fastboot situation.
