Why is ic-ajax not defined in certain functions in the Ember CLI?

Forgive my ignorance, but I can't get ic-ajax to work inside certain functions.

In particular, I would like to get a test like this how it works, but for the Ember CLI: for example http://coderberry.herokuapp.com/testing-your-ember-application#30

I can call ajax inside Ember.Object.Extend and outside of functions and object definitions, but not in modules, tests, or Ember.Route model function.

Am I misunderstanding something or is there a misconfiguration in my application?

I realized that within functions I can do:

ajax = require('ic-ajax')['default'];
defineFixture = require('ic-ajax')['defineFixture'];

      

        
        
        
      

    

but I'm pretty sure the import

top of the file should work.

I am testing this on Ember 0.40.0 (in both my existing app and new app). See below for details where I find it undefined. Setting var ajax = icAjaxRaw

outside of functions also doesn't work. I'm a bit frustrated, so any help you could give in this regard would be great.

users-test.js:

import ajax from 'ic-ajax';
import { raw as icAjaxRaw } from 'ic-ajax';
import { defineFixture as icAjaxDefineFixture } from 'ic-ajax';

debugger;

      

        
        
        
      

    

---> icAjaxDefineFi Defined here

module('Users', {
  setup: function() {

    App = startApp();
    debugger;

      

        
        
        
      

    

icAjaxDefineFixture → UNDEFINED

  },
  teardown: function() {
    Ember.run(App, App.destroy);
  }
});

test("Sign in", function() {

      

        
        
        
      

    

icAjaxDefineFixture → UNDEFINED

  expect(1);
  visit('/users/sign-in').then(function() {
    equal(find('form').length, 1, "Sign in page contains a form");
  });
});

      

        
        
        
      

    

Brocfile.js (I don't think this is really necessary with the new admin ember-cli-ic-ajax):

app.import('vendor/ic-ajax/dist/named-amd/main.js', {
  exports: {
    'ic-ajax': [
      'default',
      'defineFixture',
      'lookupFixture',
      'raw',
      'request',
    ]
  }
});
