My mistake, the shim is in there - I had inadvertently included it twice, and only removed it once… 
Edit, since I’m a new user I can’t reply any more - thanks @dogawaf, if I run into any more issues I’ll let you know! 
Hi
I recently build for one of our customers a full project on node-webkit and ember-cli. The app can run offline (with ember-indexeddb-adapter), and soon also online, with the standard rest adapter. I only modified the index.html and tests/index.html to introduce the node_require alias and the proper base tag, and to configure the main window of the app. The node-webkit app is packaged for linux and windows with grunt-node-webkit-builder. I will be happy to share my experience by answering to some questions.
Cheers. Rémy.
Hi @dogawaf,
could you please post the steps needed to build ember-cli for node-webkit? I’m a big noobie and can’t figure out how to do it. I tried to use the example of mr. Emerson, but I must be missing something.
Would you be so kind to post description of what to edit/add to make ember cli (0.46 ) ember build work with current node-webkit?
Thank you!
Hi
With the latest release of ember-cli (not tested), I think you just need to put in public/ the package.json needed by node-webkit, and to configure the baseUrl in config/environment.js to app://whatever/index.html. Then you can run (or build) the node-webkit app with the files in dist/
Thank you for your reply @dogawaf. I’ve updated my project:
- added package.json with webkit config to /public/, with ‘main’: ‘index.html’
- modifed config/environment.js ENV.baseURL to ‘app://appname/webkit-dist/index.html’ (i have build for webkit-dev environment with webkit-dist/ output)
But when I run ‘nw /Projects/appname/webkit-dist/’ (with alias nw), I get the following error
Uncaught Error: Cannot find module ‘appname/app’", source: module.js (338)
I don’t know if I’m missing something or if there are any steps needed besides this or if I’m just blind (ehm stupid cough)… Sorry and thank you.
In the same boat… @dogawaf we would appreciate your advice on this.
using ember cli 0.1.1 public/package.json has “main”: “index.html”
and in config/environment baseURL: ‘app://myapp’
But no luck…
Hey guys
I finally took the time to create a test repo: https://github.com/dogawaf/ember-nw-app. I hope you will find in it some hints.
Cheers

Thanks a ton! Going through this now
I just cloned and ran your repo. The app launches fine
But I think the require is still broken, I get this error in console when I try to go to ‘os’ route
Error while processing route: os" "Cannot find module 'my-node-module'
Any ideas?
Thank you so much for the example, it was extremely helpful and I was able to solve the problem. Everything works perfectly now. Please have my virtual hat :]
Cheers!
Thank you. This repo is awesome.
However, I still have a bug when I try to use Ember Simple Auth (GitHub - simplabs/ember-simple-auth: A library for implementing authentication/authorization in Ember.js applications.).
To reproduce:
$ npm install --save-dev ember-cli-simple-auth
$ ember generate ember-cli-simple-auth
Launch NW and you’ll get the following errors:
Uncaught Error: Cannot find module 'ember'
Uncaught Error: Could not find module simple-auth/configuration
Do you have an idea where does it come from?
It seems that amd distribution of simple-auth use global instead of window… See: https://github.com/simplabs/ember-simple-auth/blob/master/packages/ember-simple-auth/wrap/amd.end
So, require is not the window’s require, but node’s require…
Edit: I opened an issue at simple-auth: https://github.com/simplabs/ember-simple-auth/issues/323
Can’t we just delete window.global ?
<head>
...
<script type="text/javascript">
delete window.global;
</script>
{{content-for 'head'}}
...

Hi, i made an article explaining how to use ember-cli and node-webkit together with live-reload and some additional stuff:
http://examplelab.com.ar/usando-ember-cli-con-node-webkit/
it’s has a project template in github too.
