Not compatible with Fastboot

[bttf]

ember-cli-fastboot v0.6.2
ember-cli 2.6.0-beta.2

Newly created app is rendered as blank after running

ember fastboot --serve-assets

and accessing localhost:3000.

Console errors are about assets not being available (css/js files).

Given the fact that we're hijacking Express with this add-on (by taking over completely if our criteria are met), it would make sense that it's not working exactly right ... My preference might be to completely disable this add-on if run through Fastboot, but we would then not be serving things identically to what folks see without Fastboot.

@tomdale I wonder about just by-passing Fastboot completely in this add-on (if Fastboot is detected). Otherwise, we'll have to feed the results we're generating here back into Fastboot somehow ... Thoughts?

As I see it, it would make sense for the welcome page to not be seen from FastBoot, as FastBoot shows what a "production" user would see. Conceptually it would make sense for FastBoot to provide its own welcome-page, possibly with instructions more specific to FastBoot.

[acorncom]

It might be worth considering doing Fastboot-specific instructions here if we're going to use the same template / design to save on duplication. But if it'd be better to have different branding, etc than an entirely different page / add-on seems to make more sense ...

@bttf Do you get errors if you have an application.hbs file or any routes defined? Or does this only occur if you're starting a brand-new app up from scratch and haven't yet setup an app?

I believe this was resolved by the changes in 2.0.0. I'll validate that and report back.

[jasonmit]

Update, yup all fixed.

Unrelated but noticed this while setting up a demo against ^2.0.0, ember-welcome-page should include a blueprint which adds {{welcome-page}} into application.hbs. Want me to PR that?

[locks]

@jasonmit appreciated, but the blueprint actually needs to be generated with the app, see ember-cli/ember-cli#6378 :)

For anyone seeing this stacktrace in their fastboot starter fastboot app, welcome page component is missing in the prod build, don't waste much time with it 🙈 :

 TypeError: Cannot destructure property 'manager' of 'e' as it is null.
