Question

Node Version - 0.10.26

Ember Cli version - 0.0.21

I have done

On starting the server

Answer 1

See this pull request https://github.com/stefanpenner/ember-cli/pull/267 which is trying to fix recent changes to Broccoli https://github.com/joliss/broccoli-kitchen-sink-helpers/issues/2

Answer 2

Did you try just deleting the tmp folder? I have had some issues with tmp files in the past, and deleting the folder and running ember init again usually helped.

Answer 3

Try nuking your tmp, dist folders and retrying. If it still doesn't work nuke your node_modules folder as well followed by npm install and retrying ember server
