Happens when I save any file with ember serve running.

This happens on a brand new project created with ember-cli-0.1.15

I also ran into this error while using ember-cli-coffeescript and trying to add ember-simple-auth. The solution was to convert my routes/application.coffee back to JavaScript. For some reason the default application route in ember-simple-auth conflicts with the one written in CoffeeScript.

I had the same error and fixed it by removing my .cache directory

Confirming @dopin’s suggestion of forcing rimraf to 2.2.8 works. Make sure to add this to dependencies and not devDependencies.
