Error when using with requirejs-text plugin

[christinedraper]

I am getting cross-origin errors when requirejs tries to load files using the text! requirejs plugin. Should I be able to use requirejs plugins and are there any tricks I need to know to get them to work?

[christinedraper]

The cross-origin error only happens when I am debugging and loading _SpecRunner.html into the browser. For Firefox, it only happens if my baseURL is outside of the spec directory, e.g. "../public"
For Chrome, it happens whatever the baseURL.

However, even when I don't get cross-origin errors, I get syntax errors for the text files (like they are being loaded as js rather than text).

fwiw, here's a simple example. It succeeds when run through Grunt. It gives a syntax error with Mozilla (although the test does succeed). And it fails with Chrome due to cross-origin error. Will understand if you want to close this issue as running in a browser is not the purpose, but it does make it much harder to debug if you can't.

Gruntfile

module.exports = function (grunt) {
  grunt.initConfig({
    jasmine: {
      hello: {
        options: {
          specs: 'hello-spec.js',
          template: require('grunt-template-jasmine-requirejs'),
          vendor: [ '.grunt/grunt-contrib-jasmine/es5-shim.js'],
          templateOptions: {
            requireConfig: {
              baseUrl: '.',
           paths: {
                "text": "require-text-2.1.12"
      }}}
    }}} 
  });
  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-jasmine');
  grunt.registerTask('run_tests', [  'jasmine:hello' ] );
};

hello-spec.js

define(['text!hello.txt'], function(txt){   
  describe("Bind: ", function(){
    it("should find hello", function(){
      expect(txt).toContain("HELLO");
    });
  });
});

hello.txt

HELLO!!!!!

It looks like this was fixed for me. I thought I had the same problem as you until seeing that it was a JSON.parse in my code under test that failed.

I'm using:

• jasmine 2.1.3
• Squire 0.2.1
• requirejs 2.1.8
• requirejs text plugin 2.0.7

If I didn't mock the text module, it would come as an empty string.

I used Squire to mock the module like this:

        beforeEach(function(done) {
            var builder = injector.mock("text!/api/v1/practice/builder/question/list/1", "{\"list\": []}");
            builder.require(["viewmodels/report_editor/user_widget_instance_options"], function(_UserWidgetInstanceOptions) {
                UserWidgetInstanceOptions = _UserWidgetInstanceOptions;
                done();
            });
        });
