Question

I’m not sure if this is crossdomain issue or not. I’m trying to use $.ajax to load file. But some file I get readyState=4 and some file I get readyState=1

This is the path where I run my jasmine test

file:///home/myname/development/path1/path2/src/test/java/javascript/jasmine/SpecRunner.html


And in the code I used jQuery.pyte to require relevant file. But it’s stuck at readyState:1 when the code comes to $.ajax

if I do something like this, it returns readyState=4 correctly and print out the content inside SpecRunner.html

$.ajax({url: 'file:///home/myname/development/path1/path2/src/test/java/javascript/jasmine/SpecRunner.html', async: false}).responseText

but if I do something like this, I only get readyState=1 and nothing is returned.

$.ajax({url: 'file:///home/myname/development/path1/path2/src/main/webapp/static/js/core/application/FileThatIWant.js', async: false}).responseText

Answer 1

you should avoid file:// URLs in general, because browsers do not allow them in many different places. Try XAMPP it’s a simple to use local webserver, you will definitively need one.
