Question

I am trying to start history with backbone however I get the error:

Cannot call method ‘start’ of undefined

Here is a link to the full code : http://pastebin.com/pNsYghgE

I have jquery, underscore, and backbone js include before this code so I would imagine this should work based off the documentation. I am using backbone 0.9.2. What am I doing wring here?

EDIT: ANSWER

I want not creating an instance of my routers so I added this code to before I called Backbone.history.start():

//initialize all routes
_(this.modules()).each(function(module, moduleName)
{
    _(module.routers).each(function(router, routerName)
    {
        new router();
    });
});

Backbone.history can only be started after one or more routers have been defined with routes:

http://backbonejs.org/docs/backbone.html#section-113

You can see here, that the Backbone.history object is created when routes are defined. I don’t see any routers or routes being defined in the posted code, so I’m guessing that this is the problem.
