Description

Issue description

After enabling LiveView Ti.include statements are not loaded correctly. Running app normally works fine. The app has the following similar structure:

alloy.js

Ti.include('testing.js');//File: "app/lib/testing.js"
setConfig("username", "appc_developer");
var name = getConfig("username", 0);
alert(name);

Titanium Classic

LiveView is able to detect changes made by using a Titanium Classic app. To test it out just place "testing.js" into Resources folder and use the following code for replicate:

app.js

Ti.include('testing.js');
setConfig("username", "appc_developer_");
var name = getConfig("username", 0);
alert(name);

Comments

Malcolm Hollingsworth 2014-05-14 Ti.include should be deprecated and removed as soon as possible. It was a solution to a problem that has long been solved. If you are wanting to include large sections of code in-line then re-think and convert them to CommonJS. Problem solved and much better code in your app.
Tim Poulsen 2014-05-19 Per TIMOB-16984, Ti.include is likely to be deprecated. Consider closing this ticket as a result.
Eduardo Gomez 2014-05-19 Thanks [~skypanther], Client ported everything to CommonJS already. Looking forward to see this in 3.3.0 (Ti.include removed) and official. Close ticket as applicable.
Tim Poulsen 2014-06-23 Because Ti.include() has been deprecated, I'm closing this as won't fix.
