Now I know this question has been asked a million times before, but I still couldn't figure it out.
I have a huge amount of "defines" in various files. Most the time, this works, but a few of my modules are "not loaded for context" sometimes, even-though I put their names in the "define" statement.

Problem
But, once in a while, I'll randomly get just one of them to "not be loaded for context", eventhough the rest were just fine:
Uncaught Error: Module name "TestPanelView" has not been loaded yet for context: _
http://requirejs.org/docs/errors.html#notloaded
===========================
Current Fixes
Fix #1 - Using require('');
Instead of
TestPanelView.updateSomething();
I have been doing:
var testPanelView = require('TestPanelView');
testPanelView.updateSomething();
Which works, BUT.. shouldn't it have already been loaded into context since I put it in the header? Why this one? It's the same as all the others!
Fix #2 - Using require([''],function(){});
This also works, but again I'm just doing this one by one and it feels wrong!
Instead of
TestPanelView.updateSomething();
Sometimes I do this:
require(['TestPanelView'], function(testPanelView){
testPanelView.updateSomething();
});
Failed Attempts #1
TestController.js (Simplified for StackOverflow)
define(['require', 'TestModel', 'TestView', 'SocketLogic', 'Logger', 'TestPanelView'],
function (require)
{
var TestModel = require('TestModel')
var TestView = require('TestView');
var SocketLogic = require('SocketLogic');
var Logger = require('Logger');
var TestPanelView = require('TestPanelView');
return {
firstMethod: function()
{
TestModel.doSomething();
TestView.doSomethingElse();
SocketLogic.andAnother();
Logger.log("hi");
TestPanelView.updateSomething();
this.anotherMethod();
},
anotherMethod: function()
{
console.log("hello");
}
}
});
Here I get the "not loaded for context" error again, but this time for all of them.
===========================
Ideas?
I've been manually patching each one that I find like this, which is not happening to all, only some here and there, which feels like monkey patching... I'd like to know what I'm doing wrong here :( Anyone know?
Note: I'm using RequireJS v.2.1.10
