Requirejs not resolving path

Question

I have this path in require.js

require.config({
    "paths": {
        "jquery": "../../../../../endeavour-ui-common/src/main/webapp/js/libs/jquery/jquery-1.8.2.min",
        ....   
    },
    "shim"{
         ....

It is giving me

Error: scripterror: Illegal path or script error: ['jquery']

I can make sure that path is correct because same path opens the file in terminal. For example:

open ../../../../../endeavour-ui-common/src/main/webapp/js/libs/jquery/jquery-1.8.2.min.js 

Any clue how to fix this?

Answer 1

This might be helpful Generate URLs relative to module:

as said by @codingGorilla you will have to convert that path to a URL

    define(["require"], function(require) {
    var cssUrl = require.toUrl("./style.css");
});

Answer 2

you have to be open the address from a web browser and not from the terminal.

That would mean that the path has to be relative to the webpage or to your domain root if you prefix it with /

(e.g.) if your web root is one directory up then you will do something like

    "jquery": "/endeavour-ui-common/src/main/webapp/js/libs/jquery/jquery-1.8.2.min",
