Application.inject is not a function in initializer unit test

Testing
1

This Initializer seems to be working as far the actual application goes but when I go to run the unit test for it I always get an error.

TypeError: application.inject is not a function

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :smile:

initializers/language.js

export function initialize(application) {
application.inject('adapter', 'language', 'service:language');
}

export default {
    name: 'language',
    initialize: initialize
};

initializers-test.js

import Ember from 'ember';
import { initialize } from '../../../initializers/language';
import { module, test } from 'qunit';

var registry;
var application;

module('Unit | Initializer | language', {
    beforeEach: function() {
	Ember.run(function() {
		application = Ember.Application.create();
		registry = application.registry;
		application.deferReadiness();
	});
    }
});

// Replace this with your real tests.
test('it works', function(assert) {
    initialize(registry, application);

    // you would normally confirm the results of the initializer here
    assert.ok(true);
});

i am getting the same error and would also appreciate an answer to this. In general I find initializers and injection difficult to grok.

one thing i just noticed is that the arguments being passed to initialize are not correct.

//in initializer
export function initialize(application) {

//in test
initialize(registry, application);

when ember cli generates this stuff you get something like this in the initializer:

export function initialize(/* container, application */) {

the application itself only seems to call the initializer with application as an argument.

now, i’ve just started using ember but my guess is that in Ember 2 that is the way it should be called, but the CLI still generates the old style invocation, since it is at an earlier version.

any ideas?
