ember-cli won't parse jquery/src/intro.js

Question

i'm using ember-cli version 0.1.15 and it fails to run a newly created ember app.

Here are the commands issued to install ember-cli and to create the new app:

$ npm uninstall -g ember-cli
$ npm cache clean
$ bower cache clean
$ npm install -g [email protected]
$ ember new Query
$ cd Query
$ ember serve

While the ember service starts up, it attempts to parse the jquery intro.js file which is a partial module file because it does not close the IIFE function. I guess the outro.js file is the companion file that closes the intro.js.

Below is the resulting error after invoking ember serve

I tried reinstalling ember-cli and clearing the npm and bower caches. Any other caches that need to be cleared?

Try not capitalizing the new ember app's name:

ember new query

Also, you don't need to specify the ember cli version:

npm install -g ember-cli

In case query is a reserved keyword, if you still get errors, try another name.
