Can no longer override registry in acceptance tests

[mitchlloyd]

At one point we could override services in acceptance tests. Now it seems like that behavior is no longer supported:

Is there another solution that currently works?

I'm using Ember 2.2.0 and ember-qunit 0.4.16.

@mitchlloyd - I'm not sure I follow. The PR referenced (#96) made it possible to override services in unit or integration tests (not acceptance tests). In general acceptance tests do not use this repo (or ember-qunit) at all. The functionality in these tests are currently passing in Ember 1.11 and higher.

Can you provide me with an example of what you mean?

If acceptance tests don't use this library then I must be mistaken that this worked in the past. I'm probably just confusing this behavior with component integration tests. Closing this issue.

I would like to do something like what was shown in your "Allow overriding services/factories in the registry" PR in an acceptance test. Something like:

this.application.register('service:analytics', MockAnalyticsService)

But I'm having trouble because of the tricky registry behavior that you documented in the commit message of that same PR. My workaround for now is to handle this stubbing in my production code, but if you can drop any registry knowledge bombs on me please do!

@mitchlloyd - The super crappy (but functional) workaround for this in acceptance tests is:

this.application.__deprecatedInstance__.register('service:foo', Ember.Service.extend());

I am actively working on a better solution to bring acceptance tests back into feature parity with integration tests (seems like a constant battle back and forth 😸).

Thanks for that workaround. I appreciate all your hard work that makes my development experience better 👍

This workaround saved my bacon just now, thank you!

Any news on this? Why in acceptance test I can't use simply:

this.application.register("service:notifications", notificationsServiceMock)

instead of:

this.application.__deprecatedInstance__.register("service:notifications", notificationsServiceMock)?

Which is the correct way of doing this?

My comment in #124 (comment) is still correct.

Ok, I'm using this right now, but how to know if things in future changes? New issue in this repo to subscribe?
