The problem you have here is that you have placed the gravatar-image.js file in the templates/components folder and it should be in the components folder. Inside templates folder goes only *.hbs (templates is used for route templates and templates/components is used for component templates).

There is another way of structuring the folders called POD in which you have a folder with the name of the component and its files inside. With your component would be like this: gravatar-image/component.js gravatar-image/template.hbs

Check this tutorial if you are interested in using this POD structure.
