Require.js not compiling single js file correctly

Question

I\'m trying to build my require.js modules to one javascript file for production.

The command I\'m running is...

r.js -o name=main out=main.min.js m         


        

Answer 1

Quick fix: use r.js -o build.js instead of node r.js -o build.js

---

I had the problem when I was trying to call r.js through node:

node r.js -o build.js

Calling r.js directly fixed the problem:

r.js -o build.js

Note: r.js was installed globally with npm install -g requirejs

You're correct, you need to include requireJS in your build. Take a look at http://requirejs.org/docs/optimization.html#onejs. You'll find an example for the command line there. If you're using a build profile it will look something like this -

({
baseUrl: "../Scripts",
paths: {
    requireLib: 'libs/require'
},
name: "main",
out: "main-built.js",
include: ["requireLib"]
})
