Pretender mock in Ember.js about pretender HOT 7 CLOSED

Nobody has reported a bug with mapping not working. This is an excellent question for StackOverflow. If you open a question there with a runnable JSBin or JSFiddle and point me at it, I can try to help.

I've also tried to use Pretender with EmberJS and I ran into exact same issue.

By investigating the ember-cli-pretender Ember addon I discovered that Pretender has two dependencies: FakeXMLHttpRequest and route-recognizer. They are mentioned in Pretender's bower.json but not in the README!

To resolve the Ember issue, add the following to your ember-cli-build.js (formerly Brocfile.js):

  app.import('bower_components/FakeXMLHttpRequest/fake_xml_http_request.js');
  app.import('bower_components/route-recognizer/dist/route-recognizer.js');
  app.import('bower_components/pretender/pretender.js');

The reason why I'm not using the ember-cli-pretender addon is that it has Pretender disabled in production, implying that it's only useful for testing. But I need Pretender in production because I'm building a prototype rather than a test.

You definitely don't want Pretender in production. You might want it in development, and you might deploy the development environment to remote servers though!

@trek Once again, I'm building a prototype, not a real app. By "production" I mean a production environment in EmberJS, not serving real customers. My goal is to imitate my prototype's communication with a backend without going through the hassle of coding and deploying a real backend.

I've completed the prototype, you can have a look: http://lolmaus.github.io/loadimpact-assignment/

Why is Pretender a wrong choice for that? What would you suggest using instead?

We're talking about the same thing. I also develop like that.

@trek So is Pretender legit for my use case?

Yep.
