cannot mount routable engine to my consuming app

[SuperManHa]

i try to mount an engine to my project as per the demo: consuming app: https://github.com/dgeb/ember-engines-demo engine app: https://github.com/dgeb/ember-blog-engine

the demo works well. But when i mount the ember-blog-engine to my own consuming app, error occurs and the error message is "Error: Could not find module ember-blog-engine/engine imported from (require)".

how i add the engine:

1. package.json

   "dependencies": {
   "ember-engines": "0.6.3",
   "ember-blog-engine": "path-to/ember-blog-engine",
    ...
   },

2. router.js this.mount('ember-blog-engine', {as: 'blog'});

3. I add active-session.js and blog-data.js in services folder because those service is used by the demo engine.

4. app/app.js

   engines: {
   emberBlogEngine: {
     dependencies: {
       services: [
         'blog-data',
         {'session': 'active-session'}
       ]
     }
   }
   }

I found the ember-blog-engine's source code is never built into vendor.js, when exec ember build , the console shows the engine is in dead module.

You also need to add the engine to the consuming app in app/app.js so the app knows about the engine. IMO this isn't covered very well in the guides, should probably be in the "mounting an engine" section.

Thanks for your reply. But I have put it in my app.js, it's my mistake that I forget this in the issue description. Have update the issue description.

@SuperManHa the ember-engines 0.6.x is compatible with ember-cli 2.18 or bigger - https://github.com/ember-engines/ember-engines/blob/master/config/ember-try.js#L15

please update ember-cli on your consuming app and try again

thanks!

Is this still an issue?
