I admit I’m no expert here.

But it seems odd to me that  
`/models/post.js.es6` has `export default Post;`  
while  
`/views/topic.js.es6` has `export default TopicView;`

My guess is that the line should be  
`import Topic from 'discourse/views/topic';`  
in the assumption that topic is exporting TopicView as Topic
