Question

in my code, the following command, executed on a powershell prompt

r.js -o name=main out=main_opt.js baseUrl=.

works fine and outputs the following

Tracing dependencies for: main
Uglifying file: C:/Users/Scott/Documents/d/proj/Scripts/Coffee/Directory/main_opt.js

C:/Users/Scott/Documents/d/proj/Scripts/Coffee/Directory/main_opt.js
----------------
C:/Users/Scott/Documents/d/proj/Scripts/Coffee/Directory/DirectoryVM.js
C:/Users/Scott/Documents/d/proj/Scripts/Coffee/Directory/main.js

via msbuild I get the following

RequireJSOptimize:
  working dir = C:\Users\Scott\Documents\d\proj\Scripts\Coffee\Directory\
  r.js -o name=main out=main_opt.js baseUrl=.

  node.js:203
          throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
                ^

Any ideas?

This was a bug with v 0.5.9 of node. Since fixed.
