[TIMOB-9860] iOS: require ('abc/xyz') and require('/abc/xyz') get treated differently

Problem

The javascript path argument for "required" with and without a slash in the beginning get treated as a whole new class. var xyz1 = require ('/abc/xyz'); // gets loaded var xyz2 = require ('/abc/xyz'); // won't loaded again var xyz3 = require ('abc/xyz'); // will loaded again since the path doesn't start with a slash although it's pointing to the same javascript file.

Steps to Reproduce

Run the sample code below and put a breakpoint or a debug statement to see the loading of require statement {noformat} // MyClass.js var instance = null; exports.getInstance = function() { if (instance == null) { instance = new MyClass(); } return instance; } {noformat} **app.js** {noformat} var xyz1 = require('/MyClass'); var xyz2 = require('/MyClass'); var xyz3 = require('MyClass'); {noformat} If the file has been loaded already, the "instance" should NOT be null.
