EmberFire fails under Fastboot

Version info

DEBUG: Ember      : 2.6.2
DEBUG: Ember Data : 2.6.1
DEBUG: Firebase   : 3.2.0
DEBUG: EmberFire  : 2.0.1

Steps to reproduce

Run an EmberFire app with fastboot:

$ ember fastboot --serve-assets
Built project successfully. Stored in "dist".
Installing FastBoot npm dependencies
DEBUG: -------------------------------
DEBUG: Ember      : 2.6.2
DEBUG: Ember Data : 2.6.1
DEBUG: Firebase   : 3.2.0
DEBUG: EmberFire  : 2.0.1
DEBUG: -------------------------------
Ember FastBoot running at http://[::]:3000

and visit any page that loads data through Emberfire

Expected behavior

Fastboot loads the data and renders the page.

Actual behavior

Fastboot fails with Error while processing route: index The XMLHttpRequest compatibility library was not found.

This error message comes from bower_components/firebase/firebase.js, but that file’s source is obfuscated, making it difficult to debug further. Is there an unobfuscated version of the current firebase.js lib available? It used to be possible to access firebase-debug.js but the current location of firebase.js doesn’t seem to have a debug version available.

I put up a PR for fastboot support, if people can go thumbs up it and/or comment on it, perhaps we can move toward getting it merged in! https://github.com/firebase/emberfire/pull/419

#419 we’re working on this, expecting that we will have support for fastboot soon including data retrieval, however we don’t expect the first fastboot compatible release will have fastboot auth session support.
