javascript - RequireJS - config; paths and shims not working -

i have common.js defines config requirejs:

(function(requirejs) {     "use strict";      requirejs.config({         baseurl: "/js",         paths: {             "jsroutes": "http://localhost:8080/app/jsroutes"         },         shim: {             "jsroutes": {                 exports: "jsroutes"             }         }     });      requirejs.onerror = function(err) {         console.log(err);     }; })(requirejs); 

i have main.js file try use jsroutes path created:

require(["./common", "jsroutes"], function (common, routes) {     // interesting }); 

but not load resource @ http://localhost:8080/app/jsroutes instead tries load http://localhost:8080/js/jsroutes.js when main.js executed. resouce doesn't exist , 404.

how jsroutes path work correctly? need shim (i'm not 100% sure)?

i can debug common.js file, paths should being set, right?

update 1

i believe paths should work have them defined shouldn't they?

excerpt http://requirejs.org/docs/api.html

there may times when want reference script directly , not conform "baseurl + paths" rules finding it. if module id has 1 of following characteristics, id not passed through "baseurl + paths" configuration, , treated regular url relative document:

ends in ".js". starts "/". contains url protocol, "http:" or "https:". 

update 2

i may have misread docs, can solve issue defining main.js so:

require(["./common", "http://localhost:8080/app/jsroutes"], function (common, routes) {     // interesting }); 

i rather hoping not have pass round rather unwieldy url though.

update 3

further investigation of docs revealed following snippet:

requirejs.config({     enforcedefine: true,     paths: {         jquery: 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.min'     } });   //later require(['jquery'], function ($) {     //do $ here }, function (err) {     //the errback, error callback     //the error has list of modules failed     var failedid = err.requiremodules && err.requiremodules[0];     if (failedid === 'jquery') {         //undef function on global requirejs object.         //use clear internal knowledge of jquery. modules         //that dependent on jquery , in middle of loading         //will not loaded yet, wait until valid jquery         //does load.         requirejs.undef(failedid);          //set path jquery local path         requirejs.config({             paths: {                 jquery: 'local/jquery'             }         });          //try again. note above require callback         //with "do $ here" comment           //be called if new attempt load jquery succeeds.         require(['jquery'], function () {});     } else {         //some other error. maybe show message user.     } }); 

it seem here jquery path working full url

i'm path should relative baseurl. giving domain & port screwing up.

edit: standard require js config... might help?

require.config({   baseurl : "./",     paths: {      // bower components     respond:      'assets/bower_components/respond/dest/respond.min',      // libraries & polyfills     polyfillgcs:  'assets/js/lib/polyfill-getcomputedstyle',      polyfillraf:  'assets/js/lib/polyfill-requestanimationframe',     polyfillpro:  'assets/js/lib/polyfill-promise',      easing:       'assets/js/lib/easing',     signalsui:    'assets/js/lib/signals.ui',     signalsjs:    'assets/js/lib/signals',     domready:     'assets/js/lib/domready', // todo: still needed?      // modules     app:          'assets/js/es5/app'      },     shim: {     app: {       deps: ['signalsjs']     },     signalsjs: {       deps: ['easing', 'polyfillgcs', 'polyfillraf']     },     signalsui: {       deps: ['signalsjs']     }     } });  // load app require(['app']);
