Anyway to get intellisense into define blocks as well?

[david-driscoll]

This is a pretty cool little addition. I've tried to hack onto it a little bit, to get intellisense also when working inside define blocks, but I've had no luck so far.

Is there any chance that is a pretty quick fix to make this also work inside define blocks?

Glad to hear someone trying it out. This is still "under construction".

I'm still getting set up with windows 8 (my vm was too small to install the visual studio beta), so I'm a bit behind on this. @lostintangent might have an idea though in the meantime.

I figured it was very much still alpha, pre-alpha considering VS11 is still in beta itself. I just thought maybe you have some insight. I'll have another shot at it in a week or so, depends on how much work takes of my spare time.

I think the behaviour has to do with what happens inside RequireJS when define is called, instead of require. Obviously it makes sense, since define doesn't invoke the code block until it's required.

I tried to make define fake a require call in the intellisense portion and occasionally that worked, other times it would outright crash VS11. I probably just need a better way to fake the require, so it only happens for the first define, and none of the others that come after it.

We have a pretty complex dependency graph, so being able to access intellisense inside define blocks would be pretty nice.

I'm pretty excited as well - but havn't had any luck getting this to work. Is it VS11 only? (A link to some reference of the mysterious intellisense global would be most welcome, I can't seem to find anything on it.)

Keep up the good work!

@gudmundurh I believe this is only for the visual studio beta that can be installed into the Windows 8 consumer preview, so for that version of visual studio.

It works with VS11 beta in general.
The intellisene object has proper definitions for its methods, it just
doesn't show up as attached to the window ( and it shouldn't it is a vs
convention. )

I still have yet to find a reliable way for it to work in define blocks but
for now I'm leaving it alone, I'm waiting to see if some more bugs get
fixed in a later release.

@gudmundurh Documentation for the intellisense object can be found here.

I just submittted a pull request that makes intellisense work inside define, at least on my machine.
