"vex not defined" when implemeting using requireJS

[bengsfort]

Working on a web app and trying to implement Vex Dialogs using requireJS. Everything compiles fine, however whenever I open the page all I get is a reference error saying vex is not defined. Have tried using the minified and unminified files, vex.dialog.js and vex.js.

In my gruntfile under paths:
jquery : 'extra/jquery-2.1.1.min',
. . . .
vex : 'extra/vex',

In my main.js, the file that calls it:
require([ "system", "ui", "jquery", "vex" ]);

Just to test it working I have the standard confirm demo pasted in, but continue getting the reference error. Is there something I'm just not doing correctly in terms of requireJS?

I am having the same problem with this.

I add in the vex and vex.dialog libraries as per the documentation and I get:

Uncaught ReferenceError: vex is not defined

Does this library support AMD? The documentation suggests it does but I am unable to get it to work.

Could you show more of the code that creates the dialog? Are you requiring vex.dialog and then using vexDialog.alert (or are you using vex directly and not the vex.dialog shortcuts?). I'm going off of what I see in https://github.com/HubSpot/vex/blob/master/js/build-test-amd.html

ps: #64 may be helpful.

I'm having the same issue.

I think this is related to #141, and the fix could be to change "vex" to "vex-js" in the array of define dependencies as has been suggested on that issue: #141 (comment)

It worked for me, my define implementation is provided by webpack.

Note there are big changes planned in the next version of vex is #160 you are encouraged to review the new changes and see if ti would meet your needs here.

Hey all! #160 is merged and I want to make sure your problem is fixed. vex is now built with browserify's standalone option, which should make it compatible with all module systems, including requirejs and AMD.

If you don't mind, can you try the latest files (vex files & vex-dialog files or npm install vex-js@3.0.0-beta.1 vex-dialog) and let me know if they're working? Thanks!

Assuming this worked fine :)
