TypeError: Unknown StorageFactory when testing in addon

[BryanCrotaz]

Using storageFor in addon fails at test time with error
TypeError: Unknown StorageFactory: storage:
at createStorage

@BryanCrotaz thanks for reporting. Is the addon public?

[BryanCrotaz]

No, but you should be able to reproduce by creating a service in an addon and having the service use storageFor and get it in init

[fsmanuel]

Did you define the storage object in app/storages or addon/storages?

[BryanCrotaz]

used your generator which puts it in app

[fsmanuel]

Will dig into it.

[fsmanuel]

How do you test it? I mean do you use it in the dummy app or use the addon in a normal app? Would be great if you could provide a repo to reproduce the error.

[fsmanuel]

@BryanCrotaz any news?

[tinyweasel]

Any news on this? I'd like to know how to make the tests work.

[fsmanuel]

@tinyweasel can you provide a repo to reproduce?

[fsmanuel]

@BryanCrotaz @tinyweasel If one of you can provide a repo to reproduce I'm happy to fix it.

Hi, any updates with this issue?

[fsmanuel]

@carlos-figueroa-globant I still can not reproduce it. If you have a repo I can test with I'll take a look.

For anyone who may be struggling with this: We discovered that adding the storage key to the needs array in your test seems to solve the problem.

In the route/controller:

myModel: storageFor('my-model')

In the test:

needs: [
    'storage:my-model'
]

@ammorrise Thank you for that hint!
