page reload on "new event"

[mcnesium]

I am having trouble trying to run this on OSX 10.11:

mcnesium@mcobst:~/Sites/splittypie$ git pull
Already up-to-date.
mcnesium@mcobst:~/Sites/splittypie$ npm install  
mcnesium@mcobst:~/Sites/splittypie$ bower install
mcnesium@mcobst:~/Sites/splittypie$ ember server
Livereload server on http://localhost:49152
Serving on http://localhost:4200/

Build successful - 20321ms.

The front page looks alright when opening http://localhost:4200/ in Firefox, but when I hit "Create New Event", the app reloads the front page and in the Dev Tools Console the first entry says, it lost connection to ws://localhost:49152/livereload. Any idea, what's the matter here?

Hey @mcnesium, here is the thing. There is always some preloaded html (see app/preloaders), just to show the user something immediately before Ember app start. When the Ember app is ready, the preloader is removed see here. So, I've got 2 preloaders one for index route (index-preload) and one for the rest of application (app-preload). Index preload is used for index.html, app-preload for app.html (this file is generated from index.html by ember-index plugin). I have rewrite set on the production server to use app.html file for requests other than /. Unfortunately, and I know this is kinda inconvenience, there is no rewriting for the development server set (please feel free to open PR :)). So, index.html is used all the time. That's why on development machine you see main page first, even if you enter let's say /new address. In production, with rewrite set to app.html, you would see something like "Loading Splittypie...".

I think in your case Ember app wasn't fully loaded when you clicked Create New Event (so that was just normal link, not an ember link). You went to /new address and application started loading once again.
