Breeze js Non-EF hasServerMetadata - breeze

Question

I'm running the following using Breeze.js with Asp.Net WebAPI. I can query my service using OData protocol and I can see JSON data in the response, but the .then() and .fail() callbacks aren't firing so the view model never gets the data. Is that because I'm missing the metadata?
/// <reference path="..\breeze.debug.js" />
(function (root) {
var dataService = new breeze.DataService({
serviceName: 'api/breezesample',
hasServerMetadata: false
});
var altMs = new breeze.MetadataStore({
namingConvention: breeze.NamingConvention.camelCase
});
var manager = new breeze.EntityManager({
dataService: dataService,
metadataStore: altMs
});
// define the viewmodel
var vm = {
todos: ko.observableArray(),
includeDone: ko.observable(false),
show: ko.observable(false)
};
// start fetching Todos
getTodos();
// re-query when "includeDone" checkbox changes
//vm.includeDone.subscribe(getTodos);
// bind view to the viewmodel
ko.applyBindings(vm);
/* Private functions */
// get Todos asynchronously
// returning a promise to wait for
function getTodos() {
var query = breeze.entityModel.EntityQuery.from("todos");
if (!vm.includeDone()) {
query = query.where("IsDone", "==", false);
}
return manager
.executeQuery(query)
.then(querySucceeded)
.fail(queryFailed);
};
function querySucceeded(data) {
vm.todos.removeAll();
var todos = data.results;
todos.forEach(function (todo) {
vm.todos.push(todo);
});
vm.show(true); // show the view
}
function queryFailed(error) {
alert("Query failed: " + error.message);
}
}(window));

Try this code. You will also need to add your metadata to the 'altMs' via addEntityType method calls. Make sure you get the latest version of breeze as well, v.0.78.x. The 'breeze.entityModel' in your code is no longer needed.
var DataService = breeze.DataService;
var MetadataStore = breeze.MetadataStore;
var EntityManager = breeze.EntityManager;
var dataService = new DataService({
serviceName: altServiceName,
hasServerMetadata: false
});
var altMs = new MetadataStore({
namingConvention: NamingConvention.camelCase
});
return new EntityManager({
dataService: dataService,
metadataStore: altMs
});
