Proxy or data server is down

[justinbmeyer]

steal.import("place-my-order/models/restaurant")
  .then(function(module) {
    var Restaurant = module["default"];
    return Restaurant.getList({});
  }).then(function(restaurants) {
    console.log(restaurants);
  });

I didn't have the proxy server running ... we might need a better warning, suggestion what to do

Trying to think how this should work exactly. done-serve is the thing that sets up the proxy. I suppose it could catch when a 500 occurs and provide a better error message within the console.

In the context of this bug, however, you might not notice this just from looking at the browser console. Perhaps a "better" fix would come from something like donejs/done-serve#22 and provide a front-end UI that reports errors as they occur.

I was thinking in the guide we just say something like:

If you are getting a 500 error, make sure your data server is running.

Ah ok,that's easy enough then.
