Ember component creation error in 2.10

When I do Ember.Component.Create() in an unit test for mixin i get this error. I was upgrading ember from 1.13 to 2.10, this test worked fine in 1.13 but in 2.10 I get this error. Looks like in 2.10 ember component init requires an app instance.

I tried to do renderer: this.render or other options but nothing worked, finally based on the lead I got here

I did renderer: {} and it worked just fine.

There are other good solutions in the link too but its not needed in my scenario since I am not rendering anything.

I do not know if unit testing a component required Ember.Component.Create() at 1.13; but you should not create the component yourself during unit testing of components now; at least this is what I learned during dealing with Ember.

You should use moduleForComponent from ember-qunit with unit: true parameter and get the component simply with this.subject(); inside the test method.

I have created a twiddle for you to illustrate unit testing of a component with a mixin. I hope this helps.
