AngularJS jasmine maven plugin preload sources paths issue

Question

I'm wondering why some paths to javascript libs are working in the preload sources section and some aren't.

E.g.

<preloadSources>
  <source>${project.basedir}/src/test/webapp/js/lib/jquery-1.8.3.js</source>
  <source>${project.basedir}/src/test/webapp/js/lib/angular-mocks.js</source>
  <source>${project.basedir}/src/test/webapp/js/lib/jasmine-jquery-1.4.2.js</source>
  <source>${project.basedir}/src/test/webapp/js/lib/angular-resource.js</source>
  <source>${project.basedir}/src/test/webapp/js/lib/angular.js</source>
</preloadSources>

works, but

<preloadSources>
  <source>${project.basedir}/src/test/webapp/js/lib/jquery-1.8.3.js</source>
  <source>${project.basedir}/src/test/webapp/js/lib/angular-mocks.js</source>
  <source>${project.basedir}/src/test/webapp/js/lib/jasmine-jquery-1.4.2.js</source>
  <source>${project.basedir}/src/test/webapp/js/lib/angular-resource.js</source>
  <source>${project.basedir}/src/main/somePath/system/apps/javascripts/angular.js</source>
</preloadSources>

doesn't as jasmine complains about not knowing anything about the keywords "module" or "angular". Is this a known issue? I didn't find anything related in the project's bug tracker.

Answer 1

You need to load angular.js before you load angular-mocks.js or angular-resource.js because both angular-mocks.js and angular-resource.js depend on angular.js.

Answer 2

I am facing the same issue, it seems that the path is build once. If you specify another directory it crashes.
