Re: [jetpack] Nested requires not working with sdk 1.9+

[Erik Vold]

Are these files in the lib directory for your add-on? or just in the root?

I have a questions about importing via require.

With sdk version 1.8, the following worked:

main.js

folder

   someFunctionality.js

   moreFunctionality.js

   utils.js

In main.js:

var foo = require("./folder/someFunctionality");

foo.bar(); // etc.

In someFunctionality.js:

var utils = require("./utils"); // TypeError: require is not a function

var moreFunctionality = require("./moreFunctionality");

utils.foo(); // etc

moreFunctionality.bar(); //etc

In moreFunctionality.js:

var utils = require("./utils"); // After flattening out directory structure: TypeError: require is not a function

utils.foo(); // etc

When I tried to upgrade to 1.9 (and 10 and 11), I got an error in someFunctionality.js that "require" is not a function.

TypeError: require is not a function

I played around a bit, and by flattening out the directory structure, "require" was defined in "someFunctionality", but it was not defined in "moreFunctionality".  

Obviously I don't have a good understand of how require is supposed to work.  Also I didn't see anything in the 1.9 release notes or the docs that explained what I was doing wrong before such that this stopped working.

Any help would be appreciated

Dear Tony

I am no jetpack developer, though I wrote an addon using the jetpack sdk.I just upgraded to 1.11 to check if it had any problems with require but it did run just fine.

You could try to work through the documentation at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/docs/sdk/latest/dev-guide/guides/commonjs.html .

Some things I would check:
* are the files below the lib/ directory and not the data/ directory
* is there accidentally some "delete require" operation

If this did not help you, try to rebuild the minimal example in the aforementioned documentation. Then post your files in a zip if you still have problems.

Yours faithfully,
Friedrich Haussmann

Your example works just fine: https://builder.addons.mozilla.org/package/163591/latest/

In a future please provide example in add-on builder or somewhere else so it's clear what's wrong with a code.
