Ember.js: A couple of issues with updating Ember to 2.16

[boris-petrov]

1) About the new module syntax: there are a couple of things that we use and don't seem to have been migrated:

Ember.HTMLBars.compile
Ember.Logger.{debug,warn,error}
Ember.onerror

Am I missing something or these are things that I have to be using the old way for now?

2) In the release notes it is mentioned that ember-cli-shims could be removed. But now I'm getting a warning: WARNING: You have not included ``ember-cli-shims`` in your project's ``bower.json`` or ``package.json``. This only works if you provide an alternative yourself and unset ``app.vendorFiles['app-shims.js']``.
Is this normal?

Hi @boris-petrov, thanks for the feedback.
Yes, we are still figuring out some of the mappings. We thought it would be better to use the Ember namespace for now instead of solidifying a public API that we would have to deprecate and maintain if we rushed and missed the mark.
Use the old way for now! About Ember.Logger specifically, consider using console.* instead. I believe it's only IE9 that doesn't support the whole console API.

Could you post your package.json?

@locks - thanks for the answer!

About using the old way - are you talking about ALL the APIs or just these couple that I mentioned? As I already ported our application to use the new ones. :D

Is this: import Ember from 'ember' coming from ember-cli-shims? I.e., all the plugins that still do the "old" way are going to need that package?

About using the old way - are you talking about ALL the APIs or just these couple that I mentioned?

Just the ones you mentioned! In short, use ember-modules-codemod or the eslint plugin and don't worry about it ;)

You cannot remove ember-cli-shims if you still have addons in your project that use ember-cli-babel < 6.6.0, the warning that you are receiving now is something we are working on removing (after checking that all addons in the project have new enough ember-cli-babel versions).

[boris-petrov]

@locks - yes, I know about ember-modules-codemod, it's just that we use CoffeeScript and the tool doesn't work for it so I had to do some Vim magic to convert everything by hand. :)

@rwjblue - thanks for the info!

Thank you both for the answers and the support! Feel free to close the issue! I'll leave it open if you decide to leave it as a reference for the missing modules for HTMLBars, Logger and onerror.

I'll close it because we are already tracking missing imports at https://github.com/ember-cli/ember-rfc176-data/issues/12. Thank you for your feedback, and good luck with the modules!
