Demonstrate using requirejs optimized files? about angular-seed-play HOT 5 OPEN

This should "just work" but sounds like there is an issue somewhere. I thought #15 fixed this.

from angular-seed-play.

When I run stage on this project, I see this error, and I see the js files being loaded individually:

[info] RequireJS optimization has begun...
[info] app.build.js:
[info] ({appDir: "javascripts",
[info]           baseUrl: ".",
[info]           dir:"javascripts-min", mainConfigFile: "javascripts/app.js", modules: [{name: "app"}]})
Error: /private/tmp/angular-seed-play/target/scala-2.10/classes/public/javascripts/app.js does not exist.
[info] RequireJS optimization finished.

From reading the play docs, it sounds like its optimizer only runs over javascript files in app/assets/javascripts, not public/js.

So, in my own project, I moved my js code there. When I run stage, I see this error:

[info] RequireJS optimization has begun...
[info] app.build.js:
[info] ({appDir: "javascripts",
[info]           baseUrl: ".",
[info]           dir:"javascripts-min", mainConfigFile: "javascripts/app.js", modules: [{name: "app"}]})

jQuery is loaded properly from webjars when I run in dev mode, so I'm not sure what is happening there. When I try to run my app in production mode, my app.js 404s, which I guess is not surprising, because clearly there was a problem generating it.

Well this is nasty but RequireJS needs to see the WebJar contents for some reason. And the WebJar contents are inside Jars. Here is a possible workaround:

This all gets better in Play 2.3 with sbt-web. Until then we might need some hacks.

In that case, you aren't actually using the webjars, right? you are just using dependencies from a CDN?

from angular-seed-play.

That is just for the requirejs optimizer to run. I don't think in this case it actually uses them from the CDN at runtime because I'm not actually using that config at runtime.
