MD5 stuff breaking new projects

[Frozenfire92]

I've been using v2.4.0 on an existing project. Starting a new project the md5 stuff you recently added has broken it

The Broccoli Plugin: [SourceMapConcat: Concat: Vendor /assets/vendor.js] failed with:
Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '.../tmp/source_map_concat-input_base_path-SVHjchpq.tmp/bower_components/blueimp-md5/js/md5.min.js' 

After digging around it seems related to ember-cli/ember-cli#2912

[Frozenfire92]

happened on both 3.0.2 (when I started project) and 3.0.3

[Frozenfire92]

maybe relevant ember info

ember -v
ember-cli: 2.11.0
node: 4.7.3
os: linux x64

Related to #22
If you upgrading from 3.0.0 and up to 3.0.3 please run ember generate ember-initials it should solve the problem with bower dependency or remove completly ember-initials from package.json and run ember install ember-initials

[Frozenfire92]

This didn't happen from an upgrade though, it happened from a fresh installation (and new ember project).

Running ember generate ember-initials did fix it, but this shouldn't be needed. Something about the postinstall isn't working correctly

[Exelord]

Yep, exactly that behavior is fixed in 3.0.3. You can try to create a new test app by using ember new test and install an addon by ember install ember-initials- it works as expected.

the problem is only if you installed the package in version 3.0.0 to 3.0.2. Then you have to run this task manually by using ember generate ember-initials.

Anyway... big thanks for reporting this and help with resolving. :) Please close this PR if everything is now clear.

I am still having this issue with a fresh installation. I am trying to use this in another addon, and it is not installing correctly in the consuming application.

[Exelord]

OK @alechirsch, so the problem is in addons not in the consuming application. If you want to use any addon with dependency in your addon you have to expose his dependency explicitly. So you have to also add a file: https://github.com/Exelord/ember-initials/blob/master/blueprints/ember-initials/index.js

But to be honest, I'm not sure if adding ember addons to the addon is a good practice. If you just install an addon in your addon it will be accessible in your tests but if you want to use initials in the addon folder you should add a dependency explicitly to users app by using:

this.addAddonToProject('ember-initials');

in your blueprint.

As you can see in normal app it's working as expected:
