Is RequireJS include: [... list of files, not just one file...] supported?

[kajmagnus79]

This works fine for me:

requireJs {
    source = ...
    dest = ...
    requirejs.options = [
        baseUrl: ...
        name: ...
        paths: [
            requireLib: "External/require",
        ],
        include: 'External/require',
        optimize: 'none'
    ]
}

But this fails: (the only difference is the include: part)

requireJs {
    source = ...
    dest = ...
    requirejs.options = [
        baseUrl: ...
        name: ...
        paths: [
            requireLib: "External/require",
        ],
        include: [                  <-- an array causes an error
            'External/require',
            'Some/File',
            'Another/File'
        ],
        optimize: 'none'
    ]
}

With this weird error: (note the [)

java.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/dev/cms-components/resources/js/[External/require.js (No such file or directory)

I'm getting the impression that include: only works with one single file, and that Gradle attempts to convert the array to a string, hence the [. Am I correct that include only works with one file?

((Listing many files is supported with the pure Javascript "version" of RequireJS.))

I too faced this issue. requireJs gradle task is not handling the conversion from options map to command line arguments properly

I picked this code from GradleJSTask

options.each() { key, value ->
logger.debug("${key} == ${options[value]}")
def keyAlreadyAdded = (key.equalsIgnoreCase("out") && dest) || (key.equalsIgnoreCase("dir") && destDir)
if (!keyAlreadyAdded) {
args.add("${key}=${value}")
}
}

the above code is not handling the array input properly. it should convert the array input to something like this "include=requireLib, anothermodule"

there are other limitations in command line syntax. this is found on requirejs.org
There is a limitation on the command line argument syntax. Dots are viewed as object property separators, to allow something like paths.jquery=lib/jquery to be transformed to the following in the optimizer:
paths: {
jquery: 'lib/jquery'
}

Hence, i preferred to use requirejs.buildProfile options instead of requirejs.options

Hi,

I am trying gradle js plugin for requireJS but it failing.

build.gradle:

requireJs {
source = javascript.source.dev.js.files
dest = file("${buildDir}/portal-all.js")
requirejs.buildprofile = new File("tools/build.js")

}

And my build.js :

({
appDir: '../WebRoot',
dir: '../build',
mainConfigFile: '../WebRoot/application/main.js',
optimizeCss: 'none',
optimize: 'none',
fileExclusionRegExp: /WEB-INF|META-INF|assets|doc|nodejs|bootstrap-sass/,
modules: [
//First set up the common build layer.
{
//module names are relative to baseUrl
name: 'application/main',
excludeShallow: ['angular',
'angular-resource',
'kendo.directives'

        ]
    }

]

})

Error:

:portal:requireJs
Error: Error: Missing either a "name", "include" or "modules" option
:portal:requireJs FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Parthi
