Description

I want to use Alloy.CFG in my model definition:

exports.definition = {
  config: {
    columns: { .. }
    URL: Alloy.CFG.API + '/json/gettasks',
    adapter: {
      type: "restapi",
      collection_name: "todo",
      idAttribute: "id"
    }
  }
};

But I get:

[ERROR] [iphone, 6.1.3, 192.168.0.101] 
Type: TypeError
Message: 'undefined' is not an object (evaluating 'Alloy.CFG')
File: /alloy/models/Todo.js
Line: 4

If I change it to require('alloy').CFG all is OK, but that's just ugly ;) Actually I wonder why this doesn't work, since Alloy should be available as a global, but I guess it's solved easily by just moving the line following the exports.definition object, where var Alloy is defined, to the top of the generated file?

Functional test: 1. Create a new Alloy project 2. Overwrite the app folder in your project with the contents of the attached file. 3. Build using the PR-version of Alloy 4. You should get a simple tableview with a few names listed, no error messages.
