Failing scenario for 1.13 after updating to 3.0

[karellm]

I'm new to addon development and currently trying to make a PR for an addon. Part of that PR I updated to [email protected]. This caused the 1.13 scenario to fail with:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'buildInstance' of undefined
    at application.boot.then.app (http://localhost:7357/assets/test-support.js:7051:49)
    at tryCatch (http://localhost:7357/assets/vendor.js:66698:14)

I tried both with the package.json definition:

    "versionCompatibility": {
      "ember": ">1.13.0 <=3.0.0"
    }

and with this following config:

{
  useYarn: true,
  scenarios: [
    {
      name: 'ember-1.13',
      bower: {
        dependencies: {
          'ember': '1.13.13'
        }
      },
      npm: {
        devDependencies: {
          'ember-source': null
        }
      }
    },
    {
      name: 'ember-lts-2.12',
      npm: {
        devDependencies: {
          'ember-source': '~2.12.0'
        }
      }
    },
    {
      name: 'ember-lts-2.16',
      npm: {
        devDependencies: {
          'ember-source': '~2.16.0'
        }
      }
    },
    {
      name: 'ember-lts-2.18',
      npm: {
        devDependencies: {
          'ember-source': '~2.18.0'
        }
      }
    },
    {
      name: 'ember-release',
      npm: {
        devDependencies: {
          'ember-source': urls[0]
        }
      }
    },
    {
      name: 'ember-beta',
      npm: {
        devDependencies: {
          'ember-source': urls[1]
        }
      }
    },
    {
      name: 'ember-canary',
      npm: {
        devDependencies: {
          'ember-source': urls[2]
        }
      }
    },
    {
      name: 'ember-default',
      npm: {
        devDependencies: {}
      }
    }
  ]
}

Does it ring a bell? Thanks for any help you might be able to provide.

This is most likely a bug for emberjs/ember-test-helpers, I believe it is testing against 1.13 though so a reproduction would be helpful...

[karellm]

@rwjblue Can you checkout this PR here: OCTRI/ember-i18next#52

If you yarn and ember try:each or ember try:one ember-1.13.13 you should see the error. Let me know if you need anything else.

[rwjblue]

lots of convo in slack around the failure mentioned here

tldr; this is not an ember-try bug, to fix it would require changes in ember-test-helpers to work around the fact that [email protected] did not resolve its boot promise with the app instance itself (and therefore in buildOwner we are calling undefined.buildInstance()).

[karellm]

Thanks for the help @rwjblue. I'll close this issue since supporting 1.13 is not currently a priority and this is not even an ember-try error per say.
