EAK and ember-simple-auth custom authenticator

Question

I'm trying to get a quick and dirty foundation for the authentication incorporated into an app using EAK. The authenticate function works as expected: it looks for a matching email and resolves the promise if it finds one.

For some reason, the restore method is never being called on page reload...or at all. I don't know if this is an issue with EAK, ESA, or something else I'm doing wrong.

var customAuthenticator =  Ember.SimpleAuth.Authenticators.Base.extend({
    resourceName: 'user',
    identifierField: 'email',
    restore: function (data) {
        console.log('Attempt to restore -> ', data);
        return new Ember.RSVP.Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
            resolve(data);
        });
    },
    authenticate: function (credentials) {
        var self = this;
        return new Ember.RSVP.Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
            var idObject = {};
            idObject[self.identifierField] = credentials.identification;

            self.get('store').find(self.resourceName, idObject).then(function (user) {
                var dataId;
                if(user.get('content').length) {
                    dataId = user.get('content').objectAt(0).get('data').id;
                    resolve({userId: dataId});
                } else {
                    reject();
                }
            });
        });
    },
    invalidate: function () {
        console.log('Attempt to invalidate');
        return new Ember.RSVP.Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
            resolve();
        });
    }
});

export default {
    name: 'authentication',
    initialize: function (container, application) {
        Ember.SimpleAuth.Session.reopen({
            user: function() {
                if (!Ember.isEmpty(this.get('userId'))) {
                    return container.lookup('store:main').find('user', +this.get('userId'));
                }
            }.property('userId')
        });
        container.register('authenticator:custom', customAuthenticator);
        container.injection('authenticator:custom', 'store', 'store:main');
        Ember.SimpleAuth.setup(container, application);
    }
};

Any insights would be appreciated!

Edit:

Here is the contents of local storage after initial authentication:

Edit: Shot of local scope after breakpoint

Edit: Added some debug lines to the restore method

restore: function() {
    var _this = this;
    return new Ember.RSVP.Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
      var restoredContent      = _this.store.restore();
      var authenticatorFactory = restoredContent.authenticatorFactory;
      if (!!authenticatorFactory) {
        console.log('Log 1');
        delete restoredContent.authenticatorFactory;
        console.log('Log 2');
        _this.container.lookup(authenticatorFactory).restore(restoredContent).then(function(content) {
          console.log('Log 3');
          _this.setup(authenticatorFactory, content);
          resolve();
        }, function() {
          _this.store.clear();
          reject();
        });
      } else {
        _this.store.clear();
        reject();
      }
    });
  },

The 'Log 3' line is never being reached. I also tried manually doing the _this.container.lookup('authenticator:custom') which seemed to cause any lines beyond it not to be reached. So it seems there is a problem with the lookup.

Edit: When the line container.injection('authenticator:custom', 'store', 'store:main') is removed from the initializer, the restore method gets called. Obviously, without the store, the authenticator is not very useful, so a different method of handling that may be needed.

And more: It seems any injection to the authenticator is causing this issue, not just the injection of the store.

Answer 1

All you need to do is register your custom authenticator before simple-auth.

Basically, in your exported object add before: 'simple-auth'

Answer 2

The problem was that I was attempting to inject a dependency before I called the Ember.SimpleAuth.setup(container, application). Here is the functioning initializer code:

export default {
name: 'authentication',
initialize: function (container, application) {
    Ember.SimpleAuth.Session.reopen({
        user: function() {
            if (!Ember.isEmpty(this.get('userId'))) {
                return container.lookup('store:main').find('user', +this.get('userId'));
            }
        }.property('userId')
    });
    container.register('authenticator:custom', customAuthenticator);
    Ember.SimpleAuth.setup(container, application);
    container.injection('authenticator:custom', 'store', 'store:main');
    }
};
