Best location for server.js file?

[kyleshevlin]

I am developing an Ember application with Fastboot and utilizing this gem. After installing the addon and creating a server.js file at the root of my project, the application was able to build and run on the Fastboot server properly, but creates an error when trying to run the normal ember server command.

Here is the error output:

ember-cli expected ./server/index.js to be the entry for your mock or proxy server

It seems that creating a server.js file in the root of your application is frowned upon based on the short conversation regarding this issue on the Ember CLI repo: ember-cli/ember-cli#2903

Thus, I would like to know what is the recommended practice for placement of the server.js file you ask us to add. I would like to still be able to use Ember CLI's ember server command while in development because it comes with livereloading baked in. Running Fastboot in development is slower than I'd like to work.

Personally, I decided to just call the file frontend-server.js instead to make it work.

Yes, I ended up placing it at fastboot_server/server.js. Perhaps documentation should be adjusted since server.js is a conflict with ember-cli's default ember server command.

I'm closing this because of lack of activity and I'm just tired of looking at it.

@kyleshevlin I don't mind but there is an open PR to fix it here in case #49.
