Hi Everyone,
I am new to ember app and trying incredibly hard to scale the learning curve. I have been at it since the last 6 months, have learnt a lot and a lot remains still.
Recently, while trying to configure the app to include bootstrap, something broke. I have been trying since the last 3 days to figure out what went wrong, I was hoping that someone from the community might be able to help me understand things a little better.
Problem:
- the ember build process completes with warnings and culminates with a corrupt output file that throws a
Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected tokenon the chromium client, which prevents the app to load.
Symptoms:
- "After
bower install bootstrap --saveand necessaryapp.import(...)commands, the ember build process threw a couple of warnings[BABEL]: the code generator has deoptimised the styling of bower_components/bootsrap/....../jquery.js as it exceeds the max of 100KB, followed with a 129 JSHint errors.
first few lines of JSHint Errors:

and similar errors pointing to files in the âbootstrapâ folder (which does not exist) and the âjqueryâ folder in bower_components
-
reverting back to configuration without bootstrap did not resolve the issue, the build process throws the same errors even though no âbootstrapâ folder exists in the âbower_componentsâ folder

Resultant Error in file ember-client.js (compiled output of ember build in dist folder) Deep within the file is buried one line #!/usr/bin/env node that causes the issue on the client
grunt.log.writeln('File ' + rawFilesJs.cyan + ' created.');
};
});
#!/usr/bin/env node
define('ember-client/bower_components/bootstrap/grunt/change-version', ['exports'], function (exports) {
'use strict';
/* globals Set */
/*!
Quick Fix:
- the uncaught syntax error exists in the compiled js file (ember-client.js) in the dist folder, removing the syntax error (highlighted in the code above) fixes the âuncaught syntax errorâ issue so the app can load successfully in the browser.
Question: a) why is this happening? b) how do I permanently fix this issue without having to edit the compiled file manually every time I build the app?
Iâve tried to provide as much information as I thought would be necessary to summarize the issue, please let me know if you need any more details from me to get to the root of the issue.
