requirejs error loading js components

[Giovanny Andres Gongora Granada]

Hi,

I am developing a Whatsapp client for Ubuntu Touch and I am using requirejs because is a webapp. I am seeing is an error with absolute paths. If the app runs on server there are not problems with absolute paths.

This is te repo with the app source:

https://github.com/ZydiaLabs/wahzap-ubuntu

This is the log that can be showed with the webkit (chrome) console:

You can't really make any assumption as to where your application will be installed, so you shouldn't use an absolute path when specifiying resources.
