Deprecation: must have an `isServiceFactory` property set to true

Is anyone able to help me work out where this deprecation has come from? It appears in the Ember Inspector Deprecations section.

Even if I click on the last line of the callstack, best I can tell it comes from within Ember itself. So it’s an Ember bug and I just report it? I just need someone more experienced to confirm this is an ember bug.

Ember Inspector (Deprecation Trace): In Ember 2.0 service factories must have an `isServiceFactory` property set to true. You registered (unknown mixin) as a service factory. Either add the `isServiceFactory` property to this factory or extend from Ember.Service.

    at exports.default._emberRuntimeSystemObject.default.extend.resolve (http://localhost:4200/assets/vendor.js:15511:56)
    at Object.resolve [as resolver] (http://localhost:4200/assets/vendor.js:15263:23)
    at resolve (http://localhost:4200/assets/vendor.js:12753:29)

    at Object.Container.lookup (http://localhost:4200/assets/vendor.js:11797:14)

The last line there links to this code which appears to be part of ember:

lookup: function (fullName, options) {
  _emberMetalCore.default.assert('fullName must be a proper full name', this._registry.validateFullName(fullName));
  return lookup(this, this._registry.normalize(fullName), options);
},

Nevermind. I found that this stack trace was being limited to 10 lines.

Adding this to the top of app/app.js fixed it.

Error.stackTraceLimit=100;

I can now see all lines of the trace, and after some digging found that the deprecation was being caused by Ember Validation.

I hope this helps someone else.

@jeremytm can you post a small example snippet of actual code that triggered this issue? And what you changed to resolve it?

I have the same error and looking to refactor. But need to better understand it.

This is the change that the ember-validations team made which fixes the issue: https://github.com/dockyard/ember-validations/commit/c117388c2d80ff8cf0b639884229ed0753c1f9a7

It’s not available in any releases yet, but I just changed their code locally to reflect this change to get rid of the deprecation until they release it.

Thanks for the example. That really helped me understand what was going on. The deprecation warning is could use an "E.g. Ember.Object.extend... should be Ember.Service.extend" or something like that.
