Cannot use Ember associations - node.js

Question

I have been trying to make this work for several days now. I cannot access a profile object from its associated user object. I have the latest versions of Ember and ember-data
Ember-data: 1.0.0-beta15
Ember: 1.10.0 production
I have a simple table view that lists my users and a couple properties. Here is the view:
<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="users/verification-candidates">
<div class="small-12 column">
<h1>Candidates for Verification</h>
<table>
<tr>
<th>System ID</th>
<th>Email</th>
<th>Created At</th>
<th>Legal First Name</th>
<th>Legal Last Name</th>
<th></th>
<th></th>
</tr>
{{#each user in model itemController="candidate" }}
<tr>
<td> {{ user.id }}</td>
<td> {{ user.email }}</td>
<td>{{ user.created_at }}</td>
<td>{{ user.legal_first_name }}</td>
<td>{{ user.legal_last_name }}</td>
<td><button id="verify" {{ action "markVerified" }}>Verify</button></td>
<td><button id="disable" {{ action "markDisabled" }}>Disable</button></td>
</tr>
{{/each}}
</table>
</div>
</script>
The models are like so:
App.Profile = DS.Model.extend({
user: DS.belongsTo('user'),
incognito_name : DS.attr('string'),
advisor_id : DS.attr('number'),
created_at : DS.attr('date'),
//etc..
App.User = DS.Model.extend({
profile: DS.belongsTo('profile',{ async: true }),
email: DS.attr('string'),
sign_in_count: DS.attr('number'),
last_sign_in_at: DS.attr('date'),
//etc...
I am using the rest adapter:
App.ApplicationAdapter = DS.RESTAdapter.extend({
host: 'http://localhost:1337',
defaultSerializer: 'json'
});
Pertinent routes:
App.Router.map(function(){
this.resource('users', { path: '/users'}, function(){
this.route('verification-candidates');
});
this.resource('profiles', { path: '/profiles' }, function(){
})
});
App.UsersRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function(){
return this.store.find('user');
}
});
App.ProfilesRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model: function(){
return this.store.find('profile');
}
})
App.UsersVerificationCandidatesRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
model : function(){
var items = this.store.find('user', { role: "advisor", disabled: false, is_verified: false });
return items;
},
})
My server is a sails.js back end, which accesses a database created by a Rails application.
I want to alter the profile in this object controller, but cannot access it in any meaningful form:
App.CandidateController = Ember.ObjectController.extend({
actions: {
markVerified: function(){
var user = this.get('model');
var profile = user.get('profile');
console.log(profile); //output 1
console.log(profile.incognito_name); //output 2
}
}
});
The output2 is undefined. Output 1 gives me some sort of object with properties __nextSuper, __ember_meta, a bunch of other things, isFulfilled, and content. But, no object properties from the model definition. This appears to be a promisearray,but, I thought this was the way to get a related object. Meanwhile, when I try to treat it as a PromiseArray, per the documentation, i get null, like this:
App.CandidateController = Ember.ObjectController.extend({
actions: {
markVerified: function(){
var user = this.get('model');
user.get('profile').then(function(content){
console.log("promise content is " + content);
//prints 'promise content is null'
})
//console.log(profile);
//console.log(profile.incognito_name);
}
}
I am fairly certain all my back end server/client things are in order, as I can access the user objects and work with them on the page. I am thinking it may be related to how the profile relates to the user via advisor_id, but, I am so confused right now. I am very much at my wit's end.
