yeoman build fails - rjs mainConfigFile location

Question

yeoman server works fine, but yeoman build looks for my main requirejs file in a strange place and fails:

<WARN> Unable to read "scripts/scripts/main.js" file (Error code: ENOENT). Use --force to continue. </WARN>

It seems to add that extra scripts/ directory because my baseUrl is ./scripts, but yeoman server finds it fine in the correct place. Here is my setup, it's mostly default stuff:

in index.html:

<!-- build:js scripts/scripts.js -->
<script src="scripts/vendor/require.js" data-main="scripts/main"></script>
<!-- endbuild -->

in Gruntfile.js:

rjs: {
  // no minification, is done by the min task
  optimize: 'none',
  baseUrl: './scripts',
  wrap: true
},

relevant part of app tree:

.
├── Gruntfile.js
├── app
│   ├── index.html
│   └── scripts
│       ├── main.coffee
│       ├── vendor
│       │   ├── require.js
|       |   └── all other js library scripts
│       └── all my other scripts
└── package.json

If I remove the scripts/ directory from the data-main attribute like this data-main="main", it actually does build without error. Trying to open the built app in a browser results in a blank page and a console error though, and yeoman server fails without finding main.js. No other tinkering with these parameters that I've tried has given me a successful yeoman build.

I hope I'm just missing a small configuration quirk. Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

I think I was missing a simple name: 'main' in the rjs configuration of my Gruntfile, so it should look like this:

rjs: {
  // no minification, is done by the min task
  optimize: 'none',
  baseUrl: './scripts',
  wrap: true,
  name: 'main'
},

This correctly works with yeoman server and yeoman build.
