not working with text plugin about cajon

[jrburke]

@jiggliemon can you provide more context on how that require('') call is done? Is it inside a module, or at the top level, outside a module? If outside a module, then I expect it to fail, since the loader can only find dependencies of that type inside a module.

@jrburke
This is essentially my simple setup:
https://gist.github.com/3208730 && https://github.com/jiggliemon/yayo/tree/master/www

Since you can load other modules in the sync fashion, I would expect to be able to also load files with a plugin dependency in the same style.

Are my expectations incorrect?

[jrburke]

Yes, this should work, and I confirmed with a simple test locally, however, my config is done before the loading of simple, and I was not using package config. Based on the config in the gist, the template file should be at 'js/tmpl/simple.tmpl'. If it is not, and it should be inside the simple package, then using 'text!./tmpl/simple.tmpl' should work better.

You can check the network tab in the browser developer tools to see what path was used to try to fetch the template. I am suspecting the issue is related to that.

@jrburke You can see the directory structure here:
https://github.com/jiggliemon/yayo/tree/master/www

the template file is sitting in js/tmpl/simple.tmpl

What i found interesting from monitoring the network tab, was that the text.js plugin never loaded, also there's no attempt to request the template. See the network tab here:

Ah, so this was a weakness in how cajon was constructed -- the config call and its fetch for deps happens before cajon's requirejs.load method was set up, so the old requirejs one was used by mistake. I just did a fix and pushed 0.0.4 with the fix.

[jrburke]

Once this problem was fixed, I noticed another load problem, but due to the packages config. in requirejs, the default "main" is assumed to be a "main.js", but at least one of your packages uses "index.js", so you will need to configure the package's main property to be main: 'index' for it to work:

[jiggliemon]

I hadn't pushed my changes to the dependencies yet. However I usually put in a main.js file with the following:
define(['./index'],function (o) { return o })

Im not sure if this is related to the fix you implemented for 0.0.4, or just presenting itself since the template is now working. But the module config isn't working: http://requirejs.org/docs/api.html#config-moduleconfig
As seen being attempted here: https://github.com/jiggliemon/yate/blob/master/src/index.js#L4

I should prob open another issue?

[jiggliemon]

Here's the error for attempting to use require('module'):

[jrburke]

Looks like require('module') is a generic issue in requirejs. I filed this issue to track that:

requirejs/requirejs#409

In this case though, it is simple enough to just use var config = module.config() since module is one of the default variables available for a module in cajon.
