Ember-cli server - proxying not working

Question

I'm new to Ember CLI and have been trying to get the ember cli server to proxy requests to my Rails backend with no success.

I have Ember CLI v.0.39 installed, and have put up a route to fetch a model from the server by AJAX:

return Em.$.getJSON('/users').then(function(result){
      return Em.A(result);
)};

I run ember s --proxy "http://127.0.0.1:3000" this being my Rails endpoint.

The request is being made from the browser, but I find no trace of it being forwarded to the Rails endpoint. The javascript console mentions a bug about an 'Route: undefined' error,

I have also found info on the web that v.0.39 had some problems in this regard and have fetched and npm link-ed the latest version from the git ember-cli rep.

  Error while loading route: undefined

I do think that the error message is strictly a result of the AJAX response being void.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Using master, this works fine for me. There are a couple syntax issues with your example though. Your route should look something like this:

import Ember from 'ember';

export default Ember.Route.extend({
  model: function() {
    return Ember.$.getJSON('/users').then(function(result){
      return Ember.A(result);
    });
  }
});

A couple things that might help:

Make sure that you have your rails server running on port 3000 when you start up the ember server.
Check the logs for the rails server to verify that it's working. The network tab in the chrome dev tools will still show it as http://localhost:4200
Make sure that you both ran npm link in your clone of ember-cli and also ran npm link ember-cli from you ember-cli app directory.
