Question

This problem is appearing only in Internet Explorer 9, works fine with Chrome and Firefox.

Here’s my main file which loads all my dependencies :

// Filename: main.js

// Require.js allows us to configure shortcut alias
// There usage will become more apparent futher along in the tutorial.
require.config({
    paths: {
        jQuery: 'libs/jquery/jquery',
        Underscore: 'libs/underscore/underscore',
        Backbone: 'libs/backbone/backbone',
        JSON: 'libs/json2/json2',
        templates: '../templates'
    }

});

require([
    // Load our app module and pass it to our definition function
    'order!app',

    // Some plugins have to be loaded in order due to there non AMD compliance
    // Because these scripts are not "modules" they do not pass any values to the definition function below
    'order!libs/jquery/jquery-min',
    'order!libs/underscore/underscore-min',
    'order!libs/backbone/backbone-min',
    'order!libs/json2/json2-src'
], function(App){
    // The "app" dependency is passed in as "App"
    // Again, the other dependencies passed in are not "AMD" therefore don't pass a parameter to this function
    App.initialize();
});

And here’s where the browser crashes :

SomeRoute:function(){
    facade.console.log("SomeRoute");
    $("#toDelete").remove();
    this.user =  new User($.cookies.get('User'));
    var that = this;
    require(['views/SomeView'],function(SomeView){    // On this require
        if(that.user.get('usr_id') > 0){
            var view = new SomeView();
            $("#domelement").append(that.changeView(view));
        }
        else window.location = APP_URL + "/login#login";
    });
}

When I take this route, I get this error :

SCRIPT5022: Load timeout for modules: views/SomeView 
http://requirejs.org/docs/errors.html#timeout 
require.js, Line 27 Char 311

But nothing appears in Chrome or Firefox and everything works.

EDIT : Besides, refreshing the page I asked for loads it perfectly fine. It’s only when I’m taking a route. I have to refresh to access my other module content.

EDIT 2 : After some additionnal testing, I tryed to add “enforceDefine: true” to my main.js and changed my require calls. Nothing changed.
Besides, any view called with this function…

        confirmView: function(idDialog, view, opts1){
            facade.loader("body");
            require(["text!templates/common/dialog/confirm.phtml"], function(dialogTp){
                var opts = $.extend({}, facade.dialog.defaultOpts, opts1);
                // Delete previous dialog with same ID
                $("#"+idDialog).remove();

                // select the view we'll set
                var el = "#"+idDialog+" .modal-body";

                // Create our template with our options
                var contentDialog = _.template(dialogTp, { "option": opts, "text": "", "id": idDialog});
                $("body").append(contentDialog);

                require([view], function(viewClasse){
                    viewClasse.setElement("#"+idDialog+" .modal-body");
                    opts.preLoad(viewClasse);
                    viewClasse.render();

                    facade.unloader("body");

                    // twitter modal instance
                    facade.dialog.events(idDialog, opts, viewClasse);
                    $("#"+idDialog).modal(opts.modal);
                });
            });
        }

… will crash aswell (timeout).

I seriously don’t know what’s going on…

Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

I had this problem before, and it stemmed from trying to use order with normal modules, not scripts. From the old 1.0.x docs:

The order plugin is best used with traditional scripts. It is not
needed for scripts that use define() to define modules. It is possible
to mix and match “order!” dependencies with regular dependencies, but
only the “order!” ones will be evaluated in relative order to each
other.

http://requirejs.org/docs/1.0/docs/api.html#order

In any case, you should be using RequireJS 2.0 which does away with the order plugin in favour of the shim configuration.
