Text is incompatible with almond even when inlining text during build

[zero298]

I set up my require.js project with the text plugin and built with r.js which inlined the text requirement. However, the load method of text depends on toUrl which require.js has, but almond does not since it does not support url loading. However, this resource was inlined so it really is available in the singular compressed file.

var parsed = text.parseName(name),
   nonStripName = parsed.moduleName +
   (parsed.ext ? '.' + parsed.ext : ''),
   url = req.toUrl(nonStripName),  // Almond has no support for toUrl
   useXhr = (masterConfig.useXhr) ||
   text.useXhr;

Is there a way to utilize text with almond after an r.js build?

Actually, I think I may be doing something that the optimizer may not account for. Either that, or I'm doing something that I may not supposed to be doing. In my config, I set a path to my resource collection: images, json files, and such.

paths: {
    res: "../../res"
}

Then in a module, I require that in with text!

define([
    "text!res/json/quotes.json"
], function (
        quoteFile
        ) {
    // Do stuff with quoteFile
    return quoteFile;
});

When I build, I get an inlined version:

define('text/text!res/json/quotes.json',[],function () { return "...";})

However, if I don't use the path, everything seems to work correctly.

define([
    "text!../../../res/json/quotes.json"
], function (
        quoteFile
        ) {
    // Do stuff with quoteFile
    return quoteFile;
});

Produces:

define('text/text!namespace/../../../res/json/quotes.json',[],function () { return "...";})

Am I not supposed to do this with paths? Using the path and running the unoptimized version works fine. But the optimized will resolve to the incorrect path.

Neither works with almond

zero298,

Did you find a solution or a workaround to your issue?. I'm having the same issue.

Thanks,

Alberto

@alberto-acevedo No, I don't believe that I did. I ended up just using the full require.js loader rather than almond. I was planning on comparing how dojo deals with the text plugin and comparing that to almond to see what the issue was.
