Summary

Sets up a version-controlled Cloud Agent development environment for this Ember.js website so agents can install dependencies, build, lint, test, and run the dev server out of the box.

ember-cli ~3.26 pulls in an old esm dependency that crashes on modern Node (the VM default is Node 22, which fails with a node::fs::InternalModuleStat assertion). This config pins the toolchain to Node 16 (matching the project's engines and Travis config) via nvm, which already ships in the default base image along with the Chrome used by the QUnit test runner — so no custom Dockerfile is needed.

Changes

  • .nvmrc — pins Node 16 for the repo.
  • .cursor/environment.json:
    • install: installs/activates Node 16 via nvm, prepends the Node 16 bin to PATH, then runs npm ci.
    • terminals: runs ember serve on port 4200 under Node 16.
    • ports: exposes 4200.

The install/terminals commands explicitly prepend the resolved Node 16 bin directory to PATH (rather than relying on nvm use alone). This is deliberate: in a fresh pod the exec-daemon prepends a Node 22 shim to PATH that would otherwise shadow nvm's Node and crash ember-cli on boot.

Validation

Verified locally and in two fresh Cloud Agents booted from draft environment builds off this branch:

Check Result
npm ci Succeeds; idempotent (run twice)
ember build --environment=development Builds successfully (Node 16)
ember test (Chrome headless) 1/1 passing
ember serve Homepage renders at http://localhost:4200/ (HTTP 200); /tests QUnit runner passes in-browser
Fresh Cloud Agent (build bld-20260825-1de4bc98) Node 16 pinned in boot PATH; ember serve runs under v16.20.2 (verified via /proc/<pid>/exe) serving HTTP 200; tests pass
Environment builds Two draft builds SUCCEEDED

npm run lint: lint:js passes; lint:hbs reports one pre-existing require-valid-alt-text error in app/templates/application.hbs. This is an existing code issue unrelated to environment setup and is left unchanged.

Because .cursor/environment.json is committed here, merging this PR makes the tested setup the highest-precedence environment source for future Cloud Agents automatically — no dashboard Save required.

Review Change Stack

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Standardized the project’s development environment for more consistent setup across contributors.
    • Added a pinned runtime version to improve compatibility.
    • Streamlined dependency installation during environment initialization.
    • Configured the local application server and preview port for easier development and testing.

Walkthrough

The change pins Node.js to version 16 and adds Cursor environment setup. The setup runs npm ci, starts Ember on port 4200, and exposes port 4200.

Runtime and Cursor configuration
.nvmrc, .cursor/environment.json
.nvmrc pins Node.js to version 16. Cursor installs dependencies with npm ci, starts ember serve, and exposes port 4200.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8c391

The development environment now depends on Node.js 16, which is end of life, and its startup command can potentially run Ember with a different Node version if Node 16 is unavailable. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to plan the runtime upgrade and fail closed on version-resolution errors.

nvm-sh nvm documentation nvm which version not installed behavior dirname command substitution shell export PATH

💡 Result:

nvm is a shell function sourced into your environment, not a standalone binary executable [1][2]. Consequently, commands like which nvm will not locate it [1]. Regarding nvm which behavior: When you run nvm which [version] to find the path to an installed Node.js version, nvm checks if that specific version is installed [3][4]. If the version is not found (or if it attempts to resolve via.nvmrc and fails), nvm outputs an error message starting with N/A and exits with a non-zero status code (typically 1) [5][3][4]. For the NVM_DIR initialization logic often seen in shell profiles: export NVM_DIR="$([ -z "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME-}" ] && printf %s "${HOME}/.nvm" || printf %s "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvm")" This command uses shell parameter expansion and command substitution to dynamically set the NVM_DIR. - [ -z "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME-}" ]: Checks if the XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable is unset or empty. - If it is unset/empty, it defaults to ${HOME}/.nvm. - If it is set, it uses the directory defined by XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvm. This is standard practice to ensure nvm correctly locates its installation directory while respecting XDG Base Directory specifications [6]. nvm manages the PATH environment variable dynamically [6]. When you switch Node.js versions using nvm use, the script modifies the PATH to prepend the directory containing the binary of the active Node.js version, ensuring that calls to node and npm resolve to the version managed by nvm [7][6].

ember-cli 3.26.0 package.json bin ember shebang /usr/bin/env node

💡 Result:

In ember-cli version 3.26.0, the package.json file defines the command-line executable via the bin field: "bin": { "ember": "./bin/ember" } This entry points to the file located at./bin/ember within the package [1]. The first line of the./bin/ember file is the shebang: #!/usr/bin/env node This shebang line is standard for Node.js executable scripts [2]. It instructs the operating system to use the env utility to locate the node executable in the user's PATH [2]. This approach is chosen for cross-platform compatibility because it allows the system to find the node interpreter regardless of its specific installation path (e.g., /usr/bin/node vs /usr/local/bin/node), whereas hardcoding a specific path would be less portable [2]. Once executed, the script manages the loading of the appropriate ember-cli version by attempting to resolve a locally installed version within the project (via package.json) or falling back to the globally installed version [3][4][5].

Citations:


Fail closed when the configured Node.js version is unavailable.

At .cursor/environment.json:7, a failed nvm which "$(cat .nvmrc)" is passed to dirname, which can still succeed. The command can then start the ember-cli shim with an unrelated node from PATH.

Run nvm use "$(cat .nvmrc)" before starting Ember, or validate the nvm which result before exporting PATH.

Official Node.js release schedule Node.js 16 end of life September 11 2023

💡 Result:

The End-of-Life (EOL) date for Node.js 16 was officially set for September 11, 2023 [1][2]. Although Node.js 16 was initially scheduled to reach EOL at a later date, the Node.js project decided to bring the date forward to September 11, 2023, to align with the end of support for OpenSSL 1.1.1 [3]. This decision was made to avoid the security risks associated with maintaining the release line beyond the support lifecycle of its underlying OpenSSL dependency [3]. Official documentation confirms that Node.js 16 is no longer maintained and does not receive updates or security patches [1][4].

Citations:


Use a supported Node.js LTS release for the Cursor environment.

.cursor/environment.json uses .nvmrc to install and activate Node.js 16. Node.js 16 is end of life and receives no security patches. Validate the Ember dependency matrix on a supported LTS and update .nvmrc. If Node.js 16 is required, document the exception and an upgrade plan.
