3.0 issues with custom modules

JohnCartwright — Sun, 17 Jun 2012 22:54:48 GMT

Hello All,

I'm using both local and remote custom modules. In 2.x, my dojoConfig was like:

  
var dojoConfig = {
   parseOnLoad: true,
   baseUrl: './',
   modulePaths: {
      'help_panel': 'http://maps.ngdc.noaa.gov/viewers/dijits/help_panel/1.1',
      'nos_hydro': './src/dijits/nos_hydro'
   }
};

Attempting to convert to 3.0, I changed to:

var dojoConfig = {
   parseOnLoad: true,
   modulePaths: {
      'help_panel': 'http://maps.ngdc.noaa.gov/viewers/dijits/help_panel/1.1'
   },
   packages: [{
      "name": "nos_hydro",
      "location": location.pathname.replace(/\/[^/]+$/, "") + "/src/dijits/nos_hydro"
   }]
};

which works for the local module but not the remote. I also tried

var dojoConfig = {
   parseOnLoad: true,
   packages: [{
      "name": "nos_hydro",
      "location": location.pathname.replace(/\/[^/]+$/, "") + "/src/dijits/nos_hydro"
   },
   {
      "name": "help_panel",
      "location": "http://maps.ngdc.noaa.gov/viewers/dijits/help_panel/1.1"
   }]
};

but that didn't work either. I've tried both the remote module as a Dojo 1.6 CDN build and as plain JS.

Can someone please provide me some guidance here?

Thanks!

Add a slash to the end of the location for help_panel?

For your help_panel package, what are the URLs you're seeing generated for your module(s) from your app?

I add that package in a test app real quick and used a dojo.require "help_panel.HelpPanel" and the js file was downloaded in my app. I don't know what it does or how to use it, but it downloaded.

The only thing different in my dojoConfig is I have async: true, but I don't know if that would make a difference in this case.

Thanks for your reply Derek. Adding the trailing slash doesn't seem to make any difference. If the "dojo.require("help_panel.HelpPanel" line is reached, the page doesn't draw.

The URL for the HelpPanel (http://maps.ngdc.noaa.gov/viewers/dijits/help_panel/1.1//HelpPanel.js) is resolving OK.

Thanks for your reply Rene. Adding

async: true

to my dojoConfig causes the error:

Uncaught TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method 'require'

I'm assuming that I need a different require statement and not simply

dojo.require('help_panel.HelpPanel');

when using async.
