Service wont start unless I console log clock about ember-cli-clock HOT 4 OPEN

Interesting. Does adding clock (instead of clock.time) to Ember.computed have any effect?

from ember-cli-clock.

I have the same problem, adding a binding to clock does not work. The init method on the service is not invoked, so it is not started.

from ember-cli-clock.

manually calling start in the init handler of my own controllers/components worked as well

I just ran into this and learned a bit about how service injection works. Hopefully this helps anyone else running into this issue...

Services are lazily injected into Ember objects, so clock will be null until something tries to access/get it.

One way to make sure your clock service gets injected is to make your computed property accesses it.

So, instead of writing...

isAvailable: computed('availableDate', 'clock.date', function() {
  return moment(this.availableDate).isAfter(new Date());
})

you should write something the accesses the clock, forcing injection to take place. For example:

isAvailable: computed('availableDate', 'clock.date', function() {
-  return moment(this.availableDate).isAfter(new Date());
+  return moment(this.availableDate).isAfter(this.clock.date);
})
