Deploying an Ember CLI app

[tehmaestro]

Hi. I'm trying to deploy an ember-cli app to Azure Websites.
I'm running the following tasks in my deployment file

• npm install bower
• npm install ember-cli
• bower install
• npm install
• ember build

Well, it all seems to go well, until it hits the ember build step. I get an error:

this._handle.open(options.fd)

Error: EINVAL, Invalid argument
      at new Socket (net.js:156:18)
      at process.stdin (node.js:664:19)
      at ..... ember-cli\bin\ember:28:25

Seems to be something similar to this #885
Any ideas on how I could work around this?
Thank you so much!

Not sure if it's the same. Does something like this change apply here?

Do you have a repro repository you can share?

Thanks for responding. I did modify a stdin to false somewhere in the ember-cli project, and I did get a bit further, I think the build process started, but it still failed.

The script froze on 'building ..' I will make a fresh new ember cli app and give it a try. I'll be posting my progress.

Just to quickly add to this: I've been trying to get ember build to run in the cloud for a while now and didn't have any measurable luck. I do think it'd be cool to have though - if you guys find out what the trouble is, I'm happy to work with Ember Cli to fix whatever's going on.

Hey, I posted this to stackoverflow and got an answer which might work. I am unable to test it at the moment, but here's the answer http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28493629/how-to-deploy-an-ember-cli-app-to-azure-websites/28553596#28553596

I actually also figured out a way - and since I'm an Open Source guy at Microsoft, I just built a small npm module that takes care of everything. If you want a long explanation, check this out - if you just want the tl;dr version:

$ npm install ember-cli-azure-deploy --save-dev -g
$ azure-deploy init

Cool, I'll link the website and this issue to stackoverflow.
UPDATE: Oh, I see you already answered there. That's great.

I think we can actually close this, as https://github.com/felixrieseberg/ember-cli-azure-deploy is battle-tested at this point.

Sounds good, thanks!
