require tns_modules

[Lee C]

Hi Guys,

I'm just getting started with NativeScript (using v0.4.2 CLI) and thought I'd create a demo app as I go (which is something people are keen on looking at the forum posts).

Source code here: https://github.com/leecrossley/nativescript-app-rss-reader

There does seem to be some confusion around nested app directories, so I removed the topmost as per a previous post but I am getting an issue when attempting to `require("application")`:

/app/app.js:10:10: JS ERROR TypeError: undefined is not a function (evaluating 'app.start()') https://github.com/leecrossley/nativescript-app-rss-reader/blob/master/app/app.js#L10

I assume this is because it's not actually referencing the tns_module application code at runtime, it's just undefined, any ideas why?

Hi Lee,

In terms of module referencing your code is actually correct. The problem lies entirely in the modules, located in the tns_modules folder. We experienced a hickup a week ago, which results in the modules being broken.

We are working on having them fixed as soon as possible (the BETA release in two weeks the latest).

Please, bear with us some more.

In the meantime, you could instead create a project with AppBuilder, where the situation is much better.

Kind regards,

That explains it then :) I'll stick with the CLI but wait for the fix. Thanks.

Hi Lee,

Though this comes with a three days delay (which I'm sorry about), I wanted to inform you we launched the Beta release of NativeScript.

Please, give it a try now.

Let me know of your experience.

Kind regards,

Hi Erjan,

Yep, I joined the webinar last week and have been playing with 0.9.1.

Many thanks,

Lee.
