Realtime Updates not working

Is the RealtimeRouteMixin working in RC6? I added the Firestore config and a basic layout. I get all data by this.store.findAll('article'). The current state is loaded and displayed correctly. But when I change something in the Firebase console the data is not updated in the Ember client. with version 2.x and the RTDB this was working.

Is this intended or a bug?

Version info

Test case

https://github.com/maximilianmeier/emberfire-dev/tree/fd79dce49ed3d610201e6c5b338b60931a6e2f65

Steps to reproduce

1. Check out the commit.
2. Add your firebase config
3. Add data based on Ember Data models
4. Data should load
5. Update your data in the Firebase console
6. The changes are not shown in the Ember app without reloading

Expected behavior

The Data should update without a manual reload.

Actual behavior

The Data does currently not update without a manual reload.

So it seems the realtime updates stop working when building the Ember app for production. I guess it might be because the constructor name is then uglified and this code will stop working again. Not really sure how to solve it though, does anyone have any ideas?

EDIT: FOUND IT! 😄 Passing the precious constructor names to uglify to keep them intact, in your ember-cli-build.js like this:

let app = new EmberApp(defaults, {
    'ember-cli-uglify': {
      uglify: {
        mangle: {
          reserved: ['FirestoreSerializer', 'FirestoreAdapter']
        }
      }
    },
  });

Hopefully no more hacks will be required. 🤔

It seems that it comes down to the class names of the adapter and the serializer. I changed from

// adapters/application
import FirestoreAdapter from 'emberfire/adapters/firestore';

export default class ApplicationAdapter extends FirestoreAdapter {
   // ...
}

to

// adapters/application
import FirestoreAdapterBase from 'emberfire/adapters/firestore';

export default class FirestoreAdapter extends FirestoreAdapterBase {
   // ...
}

And I added this serializer, because there was a crash otherwise when creating records:

// serializers/application
import FirestoreSerializerBase from 'emberfire/serializers/firestore';

export default class FirestoreSerializer extends FirestoreSerializerBase {

  normalizeCreateRecordResponse(store, primaryModelClass) {
    let result = super.normalizeCreateRecordResponse(...arguments)
    result.data.type = primaryModelClass.modelName
    return result
  }
}

The class name FirestoreSerializer is important here as well, because it seems to be used within the realtime-listener service.

With these changes, everything seems to work as expected. Does it help at all?
