Cannot resolve 'file' or 'directory' ./firebase-browser.js' at server launch

I’d appreciate any insight on this. I’m on Ember 2.11.1. Emberfire 2.0.5 loads fine but after upgrading to 2.0.6 it can’t find firebase-browser.js. I can go back and forth between the two with the same results.

I am not able to duplicate the problem in a new app even after adding in all of my addons. I have cleaned caches, deleted dist, tmp, node_modules, and bower_components and reinstalled with no luck. I’ve also updated all of my addons.

Here’s the entire error:

I wish I could reproduce this elsewhere. Thanks for any suggestions anyone might have.

I had the problem again and this time had to specify npm install firebase@3.9.0

I fixed this with a “npm install firebase”
